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 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]
All three can similarly be defined for the Cartesian product of more than two sets. Applied to the vector space R n, each of these make it an ordered vector space. See also examples of partially ordered sets. A real function of n real variables defined on a subset of R n defines a strict weak order and a corresponding total preorder on that subset.
graph products based on the cartesian product of the vertex sets: cartesian graph product: it is a commutative and associative operation (for unlabelled graphs), [2] lexicographic graph product (or graph composition): it is an associative (for unlabelled graphs) and non-commutative operation, [2]
The axiom of choice occurs again in the study of (topological) product spaces; for example, Tychonoff's theorem on compact sets is a more complex and subtle example of a statement that requires the axiom of choice and is equivalent to it in its most general formulation, [3] and shows why the product topology may be considered the more useful ...
The Cartesian product of K 2 and a path graph is a ladder graph. The Cartesian product of two path graphs is a grid graph. The Cartesian product of n edges is a hypercube: =. Thus, the Cartesian product of two hypercube graphs is another hypercube: Q i Q j = Q i+j.
In category theory, the product of two (or more) objects in a category is a notion designed to capture the essence behind constructions in other areas of mathematics such as the Cartesian product of sets, the direct product of groups or rings, and the product of topological spaces.
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).
