for all x ∈ X, not xRx. For example, > is an irreflexive relation, but ≥ is not. The previous 2 alternatives are not exhaustive; e.g., the red relation y = x 2 given in the diagram below is neither irreflexive, nor reflexive, since it contains the pair (0,0), but not (2,2), respectively. Symmetric for all x, y ∈ X, if xRy then yRx.
for all x, y ∈ X, exactly one of xRy, yRx or x = y holds. For example, > is a trichotomous relation on the real numbers, while the relation "divides" over the natural numbers is not. [11] Right Euclidean (or just Euclidean) for all x, y, z ∈ X, if xRy and xRz then yRz. For example, = is a Euclidean relation because if x = y and x = z then y ...
difunctional: the relation is the set {(,) =} for two partial functions,: and some indicator set right and left Euclidean : For a , b , c ∈ X {\displaystyle a,b,c\in X} , a R b {\displaystyle aRb} and a R c {\displaystyle aRc} implies b R c {\displaystyle bRc} and similarly for left Euclideanness b R a {\displaystyle bRa} and c R a ...
The equivalence relations on any set X, when ordered by set inclusion, form a complete lattice, called Con X by convention. The canonical map ker : X^X → Con X, relates the monoid X^X of all functions on X and Con X. ker is surjective but not injective. Less formally, the equivalence relation ker on X, takes each function f : X → X to its ...
A function is invertible if and only if its converse relation is a function, in which case the converse relation is the inverse function. The converse relation of a function f : X → Y {\displaystyle f:X\to Y} is the relation f − 1 ⊆ Y × X {\displaystyle f^{-1}\subseteq Y\times X} defined by the graph f − 1 = { ( y , x ) ∈ Y × X : y ...
David Rydeheard and Rod Burstall consider Rel to have objects that are homogeneous relations. For example, A is a set and R ⊆ A × A is a binary relation on A.The morphisms of this category are functions between sets that preserve a relation: Say S ⊆ B × B is a second relation and f: A → B is a function such that () (), then f is a morphism.
A relation R is called intransitive if it is not transitive, that is, if xRy and yRz, but not xRz, for some x, y, z. In contrast, a relation R is called antitransitive if xRy and yRz always implies that xRz does not hold. For example, the relation defined by xRy if xy is an even number is intransitive, [13] but not antitransitive. [14] The ...
For example, the relation "x is divisible by y and z" consists of the set of 3-tuples such that when substituted to x, y and z, respectively, make the sentence true. The non-negative integer n that gives the number of "places" in the relation is called the arity, adicity or degree of the relation.
