What is Relation?

Let us get the phrase set first. A set is a collection of items in mathematics. Any sort of mathematical objects may be elements that make up a set: numbers, symbols, points in space, lines, other geometrical forms, variables or even other sets. The set that has no item is the empty set and a set that has one item is only one tone. A set can have or be an infinite set with a limited number of elements. If and only if the items are exactly the same, two sets are identical. In modern mathematics, sets are everywhere. Indeed, from the first part of the twentieth century set theory was the usual approach to give all areas of mathematics with rigorous grounds, especially Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory.

The notion of a set first appeared in mathematics around the end of the nineteenth century. Bernard Bolzano created the German word for set, Menge, in his book Paradoxes of the Infinite. The German term Menge, which means "set," is rendered as "aggregate" here.

Georg Cantor, one of the inventors of set theory, defined it as follows at the start of his Beiträge zur Begründung der transfiniten Mengenlehre:

A set is a collection of definite, distinct things of human experience or thinking that are referred to as set components.

"When mathematicians deal with what they call a manifold, aggregate, Menge, ensemble, or some equivalent name, it is common, especially where the number of terms involved is finite, to regard the object in question (which is in fact a class) as defined by the enumeration of its terms, and as consisting possibly of a single term, which is in that case the c," wrote Bertrand Russell.

A relationship between two sets is a series of ordered pairs with one object of each set. If the object x is the first set, the object y is the second set, then if the ordered pair (x,y) is in the relation, the objects are told to relate. A task is a relationship of a kind. But a relation can be linked to more than one item in the second set by object x in the first set. A relation may not thus be expressed using a function machine as the machine cannot spill a single output object matched to x in view of the x object in the machine input.

What's a function?

A function is a relationship that says that only 1 output is to be provided for every input (or), and that only 1 y-value is to be termed a function, as a specific sort of relationship (set of ordered pairs) followed by the rule.

Functions of many kinds

The types of functions can be defined in terms of relations as follows:

Injective function or one-to-one function: If there is a separate element of Q for each element of P, the function f: P Q is said to be one to one.

Several functions in one: Two or more items of P are mapped to the same element of set Q using this function.

Surjective Function or Onto Function: A function that has a pre-image in set P for each element of set Q.

Bijective function or one-to-one correspondence: Each element of P is matched with a discrete element of Q by the function f, and each element of Q has a pre-image in P.

Types of relations

Empty relation

The relation R in A is an empty relation, also known as the void relation, when no element of set X is connected or mapped to any other member of X.

For instance, suppose the fruit basket contains 100 mangoes. There is no way to find a relation R that will result in any apple being placed in the basket. R is Void because it has 100 mangoes but no apples.

Universal relation

R is a set relation; let's assume A is a universal relation since every element of A is connected to every element of A in this entire relation. R = A x A, for example.

Every element of Set A is in Set B, therefore it's a complete relation.

Relation with Reflexivity

If every element of set A maps to itself, i.e. for every a belongs to A, (a, a) R, the relation is reflexive.

Relation that is symmetric

For any a & b belongs to A, a symmetric relation is a relation R on a set A if (a, b) belongs to R then (b, a) belongs to R.

Relation that is transitive

For any a,b,c belongs to A, if (a, b) belongs to R, (b, c) belongs to R, then (a, c) belongs to R, and this relation in set A is transitive.

Relation of Equivalence

A relation is termed an equivalency relation if it is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
