Relations are subsets of a Cartesian product, and functions are special relations with a precise rule of association. The chapter develops the basic language of domain, codomain, range, types of relations, equivalence relations, types of functions, composition, and invertibility. It also shows how t
Key Concepts
A relation in a set
A relation in a set A is a subset of A × A. For two sets A and B, a relation from A to B is any subset of A × B. If (a, b) belongs to the relation, th
The empty relation contains no ordered
The empty relation contains no ordered pair. The universal relation contains every ordered pair in A × A. These are also called trivial relations.
A relation is reflexive if every
A relation is reflexive if every element is related to itself, symmetric if related pairs can be reversed, and transitive if the relation passes throu
A relation is an equivalence relation
A relation is an equivalence relation if it is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. Examples include congruence of triangles and the relation on inte
An equivalence relation divides a set
An equivalence relation divides a set into mutually disjoint equivalence classes whose union is the whole set. For integers under modulo 2, the classe
Learning Objectives
- Understand the meaning of a relation as a subset of A × A or A × B.
- Identify empty, universal, reflexive, symmetric, transitive, and equivalence relations.
- Recognize equivalence classes and partitions formed by equivalence relations.
- Classify functions as one-one, many-one, onto, or bijective.
- Use composition of functions correctly and see that composition is not commutative in general.
