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).
In graph theory, a graph product is a binary operation on graphs. Specifically, it is an operation that takes two graphs G 1 and G 2 and produces a graph H with the following properties: The vertex set of H is the Cartesian product V ( G 1 ) × V ( G 2 ) , where V ( G 1 ) and V ( G 2 ) are the vertex sets of G 1 and G 2 , respectively.
For small categories, this is the same as the action on objects of the categorical product in the category Cat. A functor whose domain is a product category is known as a bifunctor. An important example is the Hom functor, which has the product of the opposite of some category with the original category as domain: Hom : C op × C → Set.
If A and B are sets, then the Cartesian product (or simply product) is defined to be: A × B = {(a,b) | a ∈ A and b ∈ B}. That is, A × B is the set of all ordered pairs whose first coordinate is an element of A and whose second coordinate is an element of B.
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.
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 ...
In mathematics, a finitary relation over a sequence of sets X 1, ..., X n is a subset of the Cartesian product X 1 × ... × X n; that is, it is a set of n-tuples (x 1, ..., x n), each being a sequence of elements x i in the corresponding X i. [1] [2] [3] Typically, the relation describes a possible connection between the elements of an n-tuple.
