	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Binary relation
		Binary relations are used in many branches of mathematics to model concepts like "is greater than", "is equal to", and "divides" in arithmetic, "is congruent to" in geometry, "is adjacent to" in graph theory, and many more.
		A binary relation that is functional is called a partial function; a binary relation that is both left-total and functional is called a function.
		In mathematics, the concept of binary relation is exemplified by such ideas as "is greater than" and "is equal to" in arithmetic, or "is congruent to" in geometry, or "is an element of" or "is a subset of" in set theory.

		A binary relation is a mathematical concept to do with "relations", such as "is greater than" and "is equal to" in arithmetic, or "is an element of" in set theory.
		Formally, a binary relation over a set X and a set Y is a ordered triple R=(X, Y, G(R)) where G(R), called the graph of the relation R, is a subset of X × Y.
		Relations over a set If X = Y then we simply say that the binary relation is over X.

	Binary Relation
		With the definition of a relation explicitly stated, one is able to not only construct examples, but also define an algebra (used vaguely, not as the mathematical concept in the branch of mathematics called algebra) on relations.
		In symbols, for a relation R from X to Y and S from Y to X, RS is not, in general, equal to SR.
		Another interesting topic in the study of relation is the study of relation on a set X. In this case, both the domain and range of the relation are subsets of X. On these relations, mathematicians use a few adjectives to describe the different elementary types of relation on a given set.

	Binary relation
		A binary relation over a set is equal to its converse if and only if it is symmetric.
		Similarly, the "subset of" relation needs to be restricted to have domain and codomain P(A) (the power set of a specific set A): the resulting set relation can be denoted.
		Also, the "member of" relation needs to be restricted to have domain A and codomain P(A) to obtain a binary relation which is a set.

	Binary relation
		Formally, a binary relation over a set X and a set Y is an ordered triple R=(X, Y, G(R)) where G(R), called the graph of the relation R, is a subset of the Cartesian product X × Y.
		It is common practice to identify the relation with its graph, i.e.
		If a binary relation is also a binary function injective and onto, the converse is called inverse of the function.

		The sets X and Y are called the domain and codomain, respectively, of the relation, and G is called its graph.The statement (x,y) ∈ G is read "x is R''-related to y", and is denoted by xRy or R(x,y).
		According to this view, the set of pairs {(1,2),(1,3),(2,7)} is a relation from any set that contains {1,2} to any set that contains {2,3,7}.Either approach is adequate for most uses, provided that one attends to the necessary changes in language, notation, and the definitions of concepts like restrictions, composition, inverse relation, and so on.

	Relation (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Relations that involve two places or roles are called binary relations by some and dyadic relations by others, the latter being historically prior but also useful when necessary to avoid confusion with binary (base 2) numerals.
		From the more abstract viewpoints of formal logic and model theory, the relation L is seen as constituting a logical model or a relational structure that serves as one of many possible interpretations of a corresponding k-place predicate symbol, as that term is used in predicate calculus.
		Another variation reserves the term 'relation' to the corresponding logical entity, either the logical comprehension, which is the totality of intensions or abstract properties that all of the elements of the relation in extension have in common, or else the symbols that are taken to denote these elements and intensions.

	Total order help – Wiki at Help.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In mathematics, a total order, linear order, simple order, or (weak) ordering on a set X is any binary relation on X that is antisymmetric, transitive, and total.
		Thus a total order is also a partial order, that is, a binary relation which is reflexive, antisymmetric and transitive.
		This relation is transitive (a < b and b < c implies a < c) and, unlike ≤, trichotomous (i.e., exactly one of a < b, b < a and a = b is true).

		Binary relations are particularly useful because they have two kinds of compact visual representation, tables and graphs.
		The parent of relations, ``x is a parent of y'', is a binary relation between pairs of people.
		This relation is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive, and hence is an equivalence relation.

	Definition of Relation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		A relation in everyday life shows an association of objects of a set with objects of other sets (or the same set) such as John owns a red Mustang, Jim has a green Miata etc. The essence of relation is these associations.
		However, {<1, 1>, <1, 4>, <3, 5>} is not a binary relation from A to B because 1 is not in B.
		The parent-child relation is a binary relation on the set of people.

		A ‘bit’ is a binary digit and a ‘byte’ is a group of bits, usually eight (hence, incidentally, the French ‘octet’ for a byte).
