  2. Transitive relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitive_relation

    Non-transitive, non-antitransitive relations include sports fixtures (playoff schedules), 'knows' and 'talks to'. The examples "is greater than", "is at least as great as", and "is equal to" are transitive relations on various sets. As are the set of real numbers or the set of natural numbers: whenever x > y and y > z, then also x > z

  3. Relation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relation_(mathematics)

    (x,y) ∈ R div. A path from x to y exists in the Hasse diagram representing R div. An edge from x to y exists in the directed graph representing R div. In the Boolean matrix representing R div, the element in line x, column y is "". As another example, define the relation R el on R by x R el y if x 2 + xy + y 2 = 1.

  4. Inverse function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_function

    If f(x)=y, then g(y)=x. The function g must equal the inverse of f on the image of f, but may take any values for elements of Y not in the image. A function f with nonempty domain is injective if and only if it has a left inverse. [21] An elementary proof runs as follows: If g is the left inverse of f, and f(x) = f(y), then g(f(x)) = g(f(y ...

  5. Negative relationship - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_relationship

    A negative correlation between variables is also called inverse correlation. Negative correlation can be seen geometrically when two normalized random vectors are viewed as points on a sphere, and the correlation between them is the cosine of the circular arc of separation of the points on a great circle of the sphere. [ 1 ]

  6. Comparability graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparability_graph

    Equivalently, a comparability graph is a graph that has a transitive orientation, [3] an assignment of directions to the edges of the graph (i.e. an orientation of the graph) such that the adjacency relation of the resulting directed graph is transitive: whenever there exist directed edges (x,y) and (y,z), there must exist an edge (x,z).

  7. Transitivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitivity

    Vertex-transitive graph, a graph whose automorphism group acts transitively upon its vertices Transitive set a set A such that whenever x ∈ A , and yx , then y ∈ A Topological transitivity property of a continuous map for which every open subset U' of the phase space intersects every other open subset V , when going along trajectory

  8. Involution (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Involution_(mathematics)

    The graph of an involution (on the real numbers) is symmetric across the line y = x. This is due to the fact that the inverse of any general function will be its reflection over the line y = x. This can be seen by "swapping" x with y. If, in particular, the function is an involution, then its graph is its own reflection.

  9. Converse relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Converse_relation

    In the monoid of binary endorelations on a set (with the binary operation on relations being the composition of relations), the converse relation does not satisfy the definition of an inverse from group theory, that is, if is an arbitrary relation on , then does not equal the identity relation on in general.
