Topics in Relations and Functions

1

1. Cartesian Product and Relation

  • The Cartesian product of two sets forms ordered pairs.
  • A relation from A to B is any subset of A × B.
  • A relation on a set A is a subset of A × A.
2

2. Domain, Co-domain, Range, and Inverse Relation

  • Domain is the set of all first components of ordered pairs in a relation.
  • Range is the set of all second components of ordered pairs in a relation.
  • Co-domain is the target set B for a relation from A to B.
3

3. Standard Relations on a Set

  • Empty relation means no element is related to any element.
  • Universal relation means every element is related to every element.
  • Identity relation relates each element only to itself.
4

4. Reflexive, Symmetric, and Transitive Relations

  • A relation is reflexive if every element is related to itself.
  • A relation is symmetric if related pairs can be reversed.
  • A relation is transitive if chained pairs produce the direct pair.
