A homogeneous relation over a set is a binary relation over and itself, i.e. it is a subset of the Cartesian product . [14] [32] [33] It is also simply called a (binary) relation over .
A universe set is an absorbing element of binary union . The empty set ∅ {\displaystyle \varnothing } is an absorbing element of binary intersection ∩ {\displaystyle \cap } and binary Cartesian product × , {\displaystyle \times ,} and it is also a left absorbing element of set subtraction ∖ : {\displaystyle \,\setminus :}
For example, that every equivalence relation is symmetric, but not necessarily antisymmetric, is indicated by in the "Symmetric" column and in the "Antisymmetric" column, respectively. All definitions tacitly require the homogeneous relation R {\displaystyle R} be transitive : for all a , b , c , {\displaystyle a,b,c,} if a R b {\displaystyle ...
More generally, the restriction (or domain restriction or left-restriction) of a binary relation between and may be defined as a relation having domain , codomain and graph ( ) = {(,) ():}. Similarly, one can define a right-restriction or range restriction R B . {\displaystyle R\triangleright B.}
A relation is reflexive if, and only if, its complement is irreflexive. A relation is strongly connected if, and only if, it is connected and reflexive. A relation is equal to its converse if, and only if, it is symmetric. A relation is connected if, and only if, its complement is anti-symmetric.

A logical matrix, binary matrix, relation matrix, Boolean matrix, or (0, 1)-matrix is a matrix with entries from the Boolean domain B = {0, 1}. Such a matrix can be used to represent a binary relation between a pair of finite sets. It is an important tool in combinatorial mathematics and theoretical computer science.
Orders are special binary relations. Suppose that P is a set and that ≤ is a relation on P ('relation on a set' is taken to mean 'relation amongst its inhabitants', i.e. ≤ is a subset of the cartesian product P x P). Then ≤ is a partial order if it is reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive, that is, if for all a, b and c in P, we have that:
