probelms 9.1 9 Modular arithmetic Definition 9.1 Let S be a set. A relation R = R(,y) on S is a statement about pairs (x,y) of elements of S. For r,y ES, I is related to y notation: Ry) if R(x,y) is true. A relation Ris: Reflexive if for any I ES, R. Symmetric if for any ry ES, Ry implies y Rr. Transitive if for any r.y.ES, Ry and yRimply R. An equivalence relation is a reflexive, symmetric and...
Relations - No Proofs! Determine (no proof needed!) whether each of the following relations R, S, T on the set of real numbers is reflexive, symmetric, antisymmet- ric, and/or transitive. a) « Ry iff r - y is positive: reflexive: symmetric: anti-symmetric: transitive: b) Sy iff r = 2y reflexive: symmetric: anti-symmetric: transitive: c) <Ty iff zy < 0: reflexive: symmetric: anti-symmetric: transitive:

(2) Define the equivalence relation on the set Z where a ~b if and only if a? = 62. (a) List the element(s) of 7. (b) List the element(s) of -1. (c) Describe the set of all equivalence classes.
I. Let each of R, S, and T be binary relations on N2 as defined here: R-[<m, n EN nis the smallest prime number greater than or equal to m] S -[< m, n> EN* nis the greatest prime number less than or equal to m] (a) Which (if any) of these binary relations is a (unary) function? (b) Which (if any) of these binary relations is an injection? (c) Which (if any) of these binary relations is a surjection?...

4. Let S be the set of continuous function f: [0;1) ! R. Let R be the relation defined on S by (f; g) 2 Rif(x) is O(g(x)). (a) Is R reflexive? (b) Is R antisymmetric? (c) is R symmetric? (d) is R transitive? Explain your answer in details. Use the definition of big-O to justify your answer if you think R has a certain property or give a counter example if you think R does not have a certain...
