Term: Relation

Term: Binary Relation
Definition: A binary relation is a relation that connects elements from two sets, A and B, represented as subsets of A x B.
Term: Matrix Representation
Definition: A relation can be represented as a Boolean matrix that indicates the presence or absence of relationships between elements of the two sets.
Term: Directed Graph
Definition: A graphical representation of a relation where vertices represent elements of the sets and directed edges indicate relationships.
Term: Reflexive Relation
Definition: A reflexive relation is one where every element in the set is related to itself, meaning all diagonal entries in the matrix representation are 1.
