Chapter 1: Relations and Functions

Reflexive, Symmetric, Transitive.

Types of Relations

  • Reflexive: (a, a) ∈ R for all a ∈ A.
  • Symmetric: If (a, b) ∈ R, then (b, a) ∈ R.
  • Transitive: If (a, b) ∈ R and (b, c) ∈ R, then (a, c) ∈ R.

If a relation is all three, it is an Equivalence Relation.
