  2. An equivalence relation is a binary relation defined on a set X such that the relations are reflexive, symmetric and transitive. If any of the three conditions (reflexive, symmetric and transitive) does not hold, the relation cannot be an equivalence relation.

  3. Apr 17, 2022 · Definition: equivalence relation. Let A be a nonempty set. A relation ∼ on the set A is an equivalence relation provided that ∼ is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. For a, b ∈ A, if ∼ is an equivalence relation on A and a ∼ b, we say that a is equivalent to b.

  4. A relation on a set A is an equivalence relation if it is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. We often use the tilde notation a∼b to denote an equivalence relation.

  5. Apr 17, 2022 · An equivalence relation on a set is a relation with a certain combination of properties (reflexive, symmetric, and transitive) that allow us to sort the elements of the set into certain classes.

  6. Example 5.1.4 Let A be the set of all vectors in R2. If a, b ∈ A , define a ∼ b to mean that a and b have the same length; ∼ is an equivalence relation. . If ∼ is an equivalence relation defined on the set A and a ∈ A, let [a] = {x ∈ A: a ∼ x}, called the equivalence class corresponding to a.

  7. Today's concepts are the ideas of sets and equivalence relations: 1 Sets. set, for the purposes of this lecture, is just some collection of objects1. We usually denote a set by listing its elements in between a pair of curly braces fg.

  8. Examples of this notation include: Equality:x = y;x 6= y Order: x < y (but we usually write y. x rather than x 6< y). Divisibility: ajb, a - b. 1.2.2. Formalization. We can encode relations using set theory. For this write X. X for Cartesian product, that is the set of pairs f(x;y) j x;y 2 Xg.
