If the Cartesian product rows × columns is taken, the cells of the table contain ordered pairs of the form (row value, column value). [4] One can similarly define the Cartesian product of n sets, also known as an n-fold Cartesian product, which can be represented by an n-dimensional array, where each element is an n-tuple.

The product in this category is given by the cartesian product of sets. The coproduct is given by the disjoint union: given sets A i where i ranges over some index set I, we construct the coproduct as the union of A i ×{i} (the cartesian product with i serves to ensure that all the components stay disjoint).
This article lists mathematical properties and laws of sets, involving the set-theoretic operations of union, intersection, and complementation and the relations of set equality and set inclusion.
In set theory, a Cartesian product is a mathematical operation which returns a set (or product set) from multiple sets. That is, for sets A and B, the Cartesian product A × B is the set of all ordered pairs (a, b) —where a ∈ A and b ∈ B. [5] The class of all things (of a given type) that have Cartesian products is called a Cartesian ...
The lexicographic combination of two total orders is a linear extension of their product order, and thus the product order is a subrelation of the lexicographic order. [3] The Cartesian product with the product order is the categorical product in the category of partially ordered sets with monotone functions. [7]
As an example, "is less than" is a relation on the set of natural numbers; it holds, for instance, between the values 1 and 3 (denoted as 1 < 3), and likewise between 3 and 4 (denoted as 3 < 4), but not between the values 3 and 1 nor between 4 and 4, that is, 3 < 1 and 4 < 4 both evaluate to false.
Ternary relations may also be referred to as 3-adic, 3-ary, 3-dimensional, or 3-place. Just as a binary relation is formally defined as a set of pairs , i.e. a subset of the Cartesian product A × B of some sets A and B , so a ternary relation is a set of triples, forming a subset of the Cartesian product A × B × C of three sets A , B and C .
