Here's the Solution to this Question
Relation R on the set M is called the relation of equivalence, if:
- R is reflexive (
- R is symmetric (
- R is transitive
M = {0, 1, 2, 3}
a) R = {(0, 0), (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3)}
All of the 3 conditions of equivalence relation are met, R is an equivalence relation
b) {(0, 0), (0, 2), (2, 0), (2, 2), (2, 3), (3, 2), (3, 3)}
There is no element (1,1) in R, so R is non-reflexive, so R is not an equivalence relation
c) {(0, 0), (1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3)}
All of the 3 conditions of equivalence relation are met, R is an equivalence relation
d) {(0, 0), (1, 1), (1, 3), (2, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1), (3, 2),(3, 3)}
R contains pairs (1, 3) and (3, 2), but doesn't contain pair (1, 2), which means R is non-transitive, so R is a non-equivalence relation
e) {(0, 0), (0, 1), (0, 2), (1, 0), (1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 0),(2, 2), (3, 3)}
R contains pair (1, 2) but doesn't contain pair (2, 1), which means R i non-symmetric, so R is a non-equivalence relation
5. Which relation on the set {1, 2, 3, 4} is an equivalence relation and contain {(1, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 1)}.
If R is an equivalence relation, then it is reflexive, then it certainly must contain (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4). So, now we must find what pairs should be added to R = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (1, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 1)} to make it symmetric and transitive. Adding pairs {(2, 1), (3, 2), (4, 2), (1, 3)} will make the relation symmetric. Now we have
R = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (1, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 1), (2, 1), (3, 2), (4, 2), (1, 3)}. Now we should add pairs {(3, 4), (4, 3)} to make it transitive and the add (1, 4) to make it transitive again.
R = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (1, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 1), (2, 1), (3, 2), (4, 2), (1, 3), (3, 4), (4, 3), (1,4)} is the sought relation
6. Find the transitive closures of the relation {(1, 1), (1,4), (2,1), (2,3), (3,1), (3, 2), (3,4), (4, 2)} on the set {1, 2, 3, 4}.
Transitive closure of R is relation R*, which is the least transitive relation contains R. So, we should find the least amount of pairs that if we add them to the R it will make R transitive
Those pairs are {(1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 4), (2, 2), (3,3), (4, 1), (4, 3), (4, 4)}
so, relation R* = {(1, 1), (1,4), (2,1), (2,3), (3,1), (3, 2), (3,4), (4, 2), (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 4), (2, 2), (3,3), (4, 1), (4, 3), (4, 4)} is a transitive closure of R on the set {1, 2, 3, 4}
