1. R1 − R 2 = {( a, b )∣( a, b ) ∈ R1 and ( a, b ) ∉ R 2 } 2.R 2 − R1 = {( a, b )∣( a, b ) ∈ R 2 and ( a, b ) ∉ R1}
4. R1 ∩ R 2 = {( a, b )∣( a, b ) ∈ R1 and ( a, b ) ∈ R 2 }
PROPERTIES 6. COM
1) If R1 and R2 are reflexive, and symmetric, then R1 R2
is reflexive, and symmetric. RE
2) If R1 is transitive and R 2 is transitive, then R1 ∪ R 2
need not be transitive. Let R1 ⊆ A × B and
counter example: Let A = {1, 2} such that R1 = {(1, 2 )} and R1 , denoted
R 2 = {( 2,1)}.R1 ∪ R 2 = {(1, 2 ) , ( 2,1)} and (1,1) ∉ R1 ∪ R 2 implies that
R1 R 2 = {( a,c
R1 ∪ R 2 is not transitive.
3) If R1 and R2 are equivalence relations, then R1 R2 is
((
an equivalence relation. NOTE
4) If R1 and R2 are equivalence relations on A, R1 (R2 R3)
• R1 − R 2 is not an equivalence relation (reflexivity fails).
R1 (R2 R3) =
• R1 − R 2 is not a partial order (since R1 − R 2 is not reflexive).
• R1 ⊕ R 2 = R1 ∪ R 2 − ( R1 ∩ R 2 ) is neither equivalence relation R1 ⊆ A × B, R2 ⊆
nor partial order (reflexivity fails)
5) The union of two equivalence relation on a set is not ( R1oR 2 )−1 = R 2
necessarily an equivalence reation on the set.
6) The inverse of a equivalence relation R is an
equivalence relation.
7. EQUIVALENCE CLASS
Equivalence class of a ∈ A is defined as [a] = {x∣( x,a ) ∈ R} , that is all the ele
the relation R.
Example
E=Even integers, O=odd integers.
(i) All elements of E are related to each other and all elements of O are related to each oth
(ii) No element of E is related to any element of O and vice-versa.
