Hence, set containment is reflexive.\n\n- Let \( {B}_{1},{B}_{2} \in \mathcal{P}\left( A\right) \) and assume that \( {B}_{1} \subseteq {B}_{2} \) and \( {B}_{1} \neq {B}_{2} \) .

Consider the partial ordering relation \( s \) whose Hasse diagram is Figure 6.3.8. | Certainly \( A = \{ 1,2,3,4,5\} \) and \( {1s2},{3s4},{1s4},{1s5} \) , etc., Notice that \( {1s5} \) is implied by the fact that there is a path of length three upward from 1 to 5 . This follows from the edges that are shown and the transitive property that is presumed in a poset. Since \( {1s3} \) and \( {3s4} \), we ... | Yes |
Example 6.4.2 A simple example. Let \( A = \{ 2,5,6\} \) and let \( r \) be the relation \( \{ \left( {2,2}\right) ,\left( {2,5}\right) ,\left( {5,6}\right) ,\left( {6,6}\right) \} \) on \( A \) . Since \( r \) is a relation from \( A \) into the same set \( A \) (the \( B \) of the definition), we have \( {a}_{1} = 2,... | Next, since\n\n- \( {2r2} \), we have \( {R}_{11} = 1 \)\n\n- \( {2r5} \), we have \( {R}_{12} = 1 \)\n\n- \( {5r6} \), we have \( {R}_{23} = 1 \)\n\n- \( {6r6} \), we have \( {R}_{33} = 1 \)\n\nAll other entries of \( R \) are zero, so\n\n\[ R = \left( \begin{array}{lll} 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array}... | Yes |
Example 6.4.5 Composition by Multiplication. Suppose that \( R = \left( \begin{array}{llll} 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \end{array}\right) \) and \( S = \left( \begin{array}{llll} 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end{array}\right) \) .

Example 6.4.7 Relations and Information. This final example gives an insight into how relational data base programs can systematically answer questions pertaining to large masses of information. Matrices \( R \) (on the left) and \( S \) (on the right) define the relations \( r \) and \( s \) where \( {arb} \) if softw... | Although the relation between the software and computers is not implicit from the data given, we can easily compute this information. The matrix of \( {rs} \) is \( {RS} \), which is \[ \begin{matrix} & \mathrm{C}1 & \mathrm{C}2 & \mathrm{C}3 \\ \mathrm{P}1 & & & \\ \mathrm{P}2 & & & \\ \mathrm{P}3 & & & \\ \mathrm{P}4... | Yes |
Theorem 6.5.4 Matrix of a Transitive Closure. Let \( r \) be a relation on a finite set and \( R \) its matrix. Let \( {R}^{ + } \) be the matrix of \( {r}^{ + } \), the transitive closure of \( r \) . Then \( {R}^{ + } = R + {R}^{2} + \cdots + {R}^{n} \), using Boolean arithmetic. | Using this theorem, we find \( {R}^{ + } \) is the \( 5 \times 5 \) matrix consisting of all \( {1}^{\prime }s \) , thus, \( {r}^{ + } \) is all of \( A \times A \) . | No |
Let \( A \) be the set of students who are sitting in a classroom, let \( B \) be the set of seats in the classroom, and let \( s \) be the function which maps each student into the chair he or she is sitting in. When is \( s \) one to one? When is it onto? | Under normal circumstances, \( s \) would always be injective since no two different students would be in the same seat. In order for \( s \) to be surjective, we need all seats to be used, so \( s \) is a surjection if the classroom is filled to capacity. | Yes |
Example 7.2.9 Counting the Alphabet. The alphabet \( \{ A, B, C,\ldots, Z\} \) has cardinality 26 through the following bijection into the set \( \{ 1,2,3,\ldots ,{26}\} \) . | \[ \begin{matrix} A & B & C & \cdots & Z \\ \downarrow & \downarrow & \downarrow & \cdots & \downarrow \\ 1 & 2 & 3 & \cdots & {26} \end{matrix}. \] | Yes |
As many evens as all positive integers. Recall that \( 2\mathbb{P} = \{ b \in \mathbb{P} \mid b = {2k} \) for some \( k \in \mathbb{P}\} \) . Paradoxically, \( 2\mathbb{P} \) has the same cardinality as the set \( \mathbb{P} \) of positive integers. To prove this, we must find a bijection from \( \mathbb{P} \) to \( 2\... | Such a function isn’t unique, but this one is the simplest: \( f : \mathbb{P} \rightarrow 2\mathbb{P} \) where \( f\left( m\right) = {2m} \) . Two statements must be proven to justify our claim that \( f \) is a bijection:\n\n- \( f \) is one-to-one.\n\nProof: Let \( a, b \in \mathbb{P} \) and assume that \( f\left( a\... | Yes |
