Write out the relation $R$ that expresses $\mid$ (divides) on $A$. Then illustrate it with a diagram. \end{theorem*} \begin{proof} By definition, \begin{align*} R &= \{(x,y) \in A \times A \;:\; x\mid y\} \\ &= \left\{\begin{array}{l} (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), \\ (2, 2), (2, 4), (2, 6), \\ (3, 3), (3, 6), \\ (4, 4), \\ (5, 5), \\ (6, 6) \end{array}\right\} \end{align*} \begin{center}\includegraphics[width=.4\textwidth]{11-1-2} %\caption{caption} \end{center} \end{proof} \begin{theorem*}\label{11.1.10} Consider the subset $R = (\R\times\R) - \{(x,x) \;:\; x\in\R\} \subset \R\times\R$. What familiar relation on $\R$ is this? Explain. \end{theorem*} \begin{proof} We see that $R$ contains all ordered pairs of real numbers \textit{except} those with the first and second components/coordinates equal to each other. In other words, $xRy$ if and only if $x\neq y$, i.e. $R$ is the relation $\neq$. \end{proof} \begin{theorem*}\label{11.1.12} A subset $R$ of $\R^2$ is indicated by gray shading. State this familar relation on $\R$. \begin{center}\includegraphics[width=.25\textwidth]{11-1-12} %\caption{caption} \end{center} \end{theorem*} \begin{proof} Since $(x,y)\in R$ if and only if $x\geq y$, we see that $R$ is the relation $\geq$. \end{proof} \begin{theorem*}\label{11.1.14} A subset $R$ of $\Z^2$ is indicated by gray shading. State this familar relation on $\Z$. \begin{center}\includegraphics[width=.25\textwidth]{11-1-14} %\caption{caption} \end{center} \end{theorem*} \begin{proof} Since $(x,y)\in R$ if and only if $x< y$, we see that $R$ is the relation $<$. \end{proof} \begin{theorem*}\label{11.2.2} Consider the relation $R = \{(a,b),(a,c),(c,c),(b,b),(c,b),(b,c) \}$ on the set $A = \{a, b, c\}$. Is $R$ reflexive? Symmetric? Transitive? If a property does not hold, say why. \end{theorem*} \begin{proof}The relation $R$ is not reflexive or symmetric, but it is transitive. \begin{itemize}%[itemsep=2ex] \item $R$ is not reflexive. In order to be reflexive, $R$ would have to contain $(a, a), (b,b)$ and $(c,c)$. But $R$ does not contain $(a,a)$. \item $R$ is not symmetric. Since $R$ contains $(a,b)$, in order to be symmetric $R$ would have to also contain $(b,a)$, but it does not. The same could be said about $(a,c)\in R$ and $(c,a)\notin R$. \item $R$ is transitive. \end{itemize} \end{proof} \begin{theorem*}\label{11.2.6} Consider the relation $R = \{(x,x) \;:\;x\in\Z \}$. Is this $R$ reflexive? Symmetric? Transitive? If a property does not hold, say why. What familiar relation is this? \end{theorem*} \begin{proof} This relation is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. It is the familar relation $=$. \end{proof} \begin{theorem*}\label{11.2.8} Define a relation on $\Z$ as $xRy$ if $|x-y|<1$. Is R reflexive? Symmetric? Transitive? If a property does not hold, say why. What familiar relation is this? \end{theorem*} \begin{proof} This relation is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. It is the familar relation $=$. \end{proof} \begin{theorem*}\label{11.3.2} Let $A = \{a, b, c, d, e\}$. Suppose $R$ is an equivalence relation on $A$. Suppose $R$ has two equivalence classes. Also $aRd, bRc$, and $eRd$. Write out $R$ as a set. \end{theorem*} \begin{proof} In the diagram below, the black arrows are the specified relations. The red arrows are necessary in order for $R$ to be reflexive. The blue arrows are necessary in order for $R$ to be symmetric (they point in the opposite direction as the black arrows). The purple arrows are necessary in order for $R$ to be transitive. \begin{center}\includegraphics[width=.4\textwidth]{11-3-2} %\caption{caption} \end{center} Thus, \begin{equation*} R = \left\{\begin{array}{l} (a,d), (b,c), (e,d), \\ (a,a), (b,b), (c,c), (d,d), (e,e), \\ (d,a), (c,b), (d,e), \\ (a,e), (e,a) \end{array}\right\} \end{equation*} \end{proof} \begin{theorem*}\label{11.3.10} Suppose $R$ and $S$ are two equivalence relations on a set $A$. Prove that $R\cap S$ is also an equivalence relation. \end{theorem*} \begin{proof} Assume $R$ and $S$ are two equivalence relations on a set $A$. In order to show that $R\cap S$ is an equivalence relation, we must show that $R\cap S$ is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. First we show that $R$ is reflexive. Since both $R$ and $S$ are equivalance relations, both $R$ and $S$ are reflexive. Thus, for any $a\in A$, $(a,a)\in R$ and $(a,a)\in S$. It follows that $(a,a)\in R\cap S$, and so $R\cap S$ is reflexive. Next we show that $R\cap S$ is symmetric. Since both $R$ and $S$ are equivalence relations, both $R$ and $S$ are symmetric. Assume $(a,b)\in R\cap S$. Then, since $(a,b)\in R$ and $R$ is symmetric, $(b,a)\in R$. Also, since $(a,b)\in S$ and $S$ is symmetric, we have $(b,a)\in S$. Thus, $(b,a)\in R \cap S$, and so $R\cap S$ is symmetric.. Finally we show that $R \cap S$ is transitive. Since both $R$ and $S$ are equivalence relations, both $R$ and $S$ are transitive. Assume $(a,b), (b,c)\in R \cap S$. Then, since $(a,b), (b,c)\in R$ and $R$ is transitive, we have $(a,c)\in R$. Similarly, since $(a,b), (b,c)\in S$ and $S$ is transitive, we have $(a,c)\in S$. Thus, $(a,c)\in R \cap S$, and so $R\cap S$ is transitive. \end{proof} \begin{theorem*}\label{11.4.4} Suppose $P$ is a partition of a set $A$. Define a relation $R$ on $A$ by declaring $xRy$ if and only if $x,y\in X$ for some $X\in P$. Prove $R$ is an equivalence relation on $A$. Then prove that $P$ is the set of equivalence classes of $R$. \end{theorem*} \begin{proof} To begin, let us show that $R$ is an equivalence relation on $A$. First we show that $R$ is reflexive. Let $a$ be any element of $A$. Since $P$ is a partition on $A$, by definition $A$ is the union of all subsets in $P$. Therefore, $a$ belongs to some $X\in P$. Thus, it is true (though redundant) to say that $a,a\in X$ for some $X\in P$, and so $R$ is relexive. Next we show that $R$ is symmetric. Assume $a,b\in A$ and $aRb$. That is, $a,b\in X$ for some $X\in P$. This is clearly equivalent to the statement that $b,a \in X$ for some $X\in P$, and so $bRa$. This shows that $R$ is symmetric. Lastly we show that $R$ is transitive. Assume $aRb$ and $bRc$. Then, by definition, there exists some $X\in P$ such that $a,b\in X$ and some $Y\in P$ such that $b,c \in Y$. Since $P$ is a partition, by definition, if $X\neq Y$ then $X \cap Y = \emptyset$. Equivalently, if $X \cap Y \neq \emptyset$, then $X=Y$ (contrapositive). Since $b\in X \cap Y$, it follows that $X \cap Y \neq \emptyset$, and so $X=Y$. Now we see that $a,b,c$ all belong to the same subset $X\in P$ and, in particular, $aRc$. This shows that $R$ is transitive and completes the proof that $R$ is an equivalence relation. To finish the proof, we must show that $P$ is the set of equivalence classes on $A$. By theorem 11.2 in \textit{Book of Proof} by Richard Hammock, the set $C = \{[a] \;:\; a\in A\}$ of equivalence classes of $R$ forms a partition of $A$. What remains is to show that this partition $C$ is equal to the partition $P$. We do this using definitions and logical equivalences. \begin{align*} C &= \{[a] \;:\; a\in A\} \\ &= \{ \{x\in A \;:\; xRa \} \;:\;a \in A\} \\ &= \{ \{x\in A \;:\; x,a\in X, \mbox{ for some } X\in P \} \;:\;a \in A\} \\ &= \{ \mbox{the subset in $P$ that contains $a$} \;:\;a \in A\} \\ &= P \end{align*} \end{proof} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %\begin{thebibliography}{99} %\bibitem{} %\newblock %\newblock %\end{thebibliography} \end{document}
