Overview

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.
