  2. Relation algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relation_algebra

    In mathematics and abstract algebra, a relation algebra is a residuated Boolean algebra expanded with an involution called converse, a unary operation.The motivating example of a relation algebra is the algebra 2 X 2 of all binary relations on a set X, that is, subsets of the cartesian square X 2, with R•S interpreted as the usual composition of binary relations R and S, and with the ...

    Given a set X, a relation R over X is a set of ordered pairs of elements from X, formally: R ⊆ { (x,y) | x, y ∈ X}. [2] [10] The statement (x,y) ∈ R reads "x is R-related to y" and is written in infix notation as xRy. [7] [8] The order of the elements is important; if x ≠ y then yRx can be true or false independently of xRy.

  4. Linear relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_relation

    In linear algebra, a linear relation, or simply relation, between elements of a vector space or a module is a linear equation that has these elements as a solution.. More precisely, if , …, are elements of a (left) module M over a ring R (the case of a vector space over a field is a special case), a relation between , …, is a sequence (, …,) of elements of R such that

  5. Equivalence relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_relation

    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 : XX to its ...

  6. Equality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The identity relation is an equivalence relation. Conversely, let R be an equivalence relation, and let us denote by x R the equivalence class of x, consisting of all elements z such that x R z. Then the relation x R y is equivalent with the equality x R = y R.

  7. Polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial

    The names for the degrees may be applied to the polynomial or to its terms. For example, the term 2x in x 2 + 2x + 1 is a linear term in a quadratic polynomial. The polynomial 0, which may be considered to have no terms at all, is called the zero polynomial. Unlike other constant polynomials, its degree is not zero.

  9. Transitive relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitive_relation

    In mathematics, a binary relation R on a set X is transitive if, for all elements a, b, c in X, whenever R relates a to b and b to c, then R also relates a to c. Every partial order and every equivalence relation is transitive. For example, less than and equality among real numbers are both transitive: If a < b and b < c then a < c; and if x ...
