Section 5.4 Equivalence

-
A relation is called an equivalence relation if the relation satisfies the following properties: reflexive symmetric and transitive.

+
A relation is called an equivalence relation if it satisfies three key properties: reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity. These properties ensure that elements can be grouped into classes of equivalence based on their mutual relations.
+
The class of equivalence for an element a in set A is defined by the set:
\begin{equation*} -[a] = \{x \in A | aRx\} +|a| = \{x \in A \; | \; xRa\} \end{equation*}
-
-
The class of equivalence of a is the set of all elements in A that are related to a.
-
+
This set comprises all elements in A that are related to a through the relation R, illustrating how elements are grouped into equivalence classes.
+
Consider set A as defined by the scenario:
+
\begin{equation*} -\text{Let A } = \{x | x \text{ is a person living in USA} \} +\text{Let A } = \{x \; | \; x \text{ is a person living in a given building} \} \end{equation*}
-
Let R be the following relation on A:
-
x R y if and only if x and y live in the same building.
-
    -
  • -Reflexive: A person lives in the same building as himself. This is true for everybody living in USA.
  • -
  • -Symmetric: If person x lives in the same building as person y, then person y lives in the same building as person x.
  • -
  • -Transitive: If person x lives in the same building as person y and person y lives in the same building as person z, then person x lives in the same building as person z.
  • +
    +
    In this context, let R be the relation on A described as follows:
    +
    +\begin{equation*} +\text{x R y iff x and y live in the same floor of the building.} +\end{equation*} +
    +
    +
    This relation demonstrates the properties of an equivalence relation:
    +
      +
    • +Reflexive: A person lives in the same floor as themselves.
    • +
    • +Symmetric: If person x lives in the same floor as person y, then person y lives in the same floor as person x.
    • +
    • +Transitive: If person x lives in the same floor as person y and person y lives in the same floor as person z, then person x lives in the same floor as person z.

    Class of equivalence
    +
    +
    For the class of equivalence, considering person a as an example:
    \begin{equation*} -\text{person } a = \{ x \in A | x R a \} = -\text{all people living in the same building as person } a +| \text{person a} | = \{ x \in A \; | \; x R a \} = \text{all people living on the same floor as person a} \end{equation*}
    -
+
This definition shows that the class of equivalence for person a includes all individuals residing on the same floor as a. The relation "living on the same floor as" groups the building’s residents into sets, with each set corresponding to a floor, forming an equivalence class.
