Study Notes
Introduction to Relations and Functions
- Sets are a well-defined collection of objects
- A relation is a connection between sets of elements, like the relationship between family members
- We use the Cartesian product (A x B) to check the relationship between two sets A and B
- There are pairs of values within the Cartesian product
- The relation of sets A and B always forms a subset or equal to the Cartesian product (A x B)
- Relations are defined by a specific condition
- The Domain is the x value and the Range is the y value
- To calculate the result, we substitute the x value in the equation to get the y value (Range)
- The y value is then used to create a relation pair
- The Relation (R) is a subset of the Cartesian product (A x B)
Types of Relations
- Empty Relation: A relation that has no elements or pairs (R = ∅)
- Universal Relation: A relation that contains all possible pairs in the Cartesian product
- Reflexive Relation: A relation in which every element is paired with itself, like (a, a), (b, b), etc.
- Symmetric Relation: If a is related to b, then b is related to a (a, b) and (b, a) are both part of the relationship
- Transitive Relation: If a is related to b, b is related to c, then a is related to c. If (a, b) and (b, c) are in the relation, then (a, c) is also part of the relation
- Equivalence Relation: A relation that is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive
