		The transitive closure problem may be generalized to the algebraic path problem.
		The problem of computing the transitive closure of a graph may be viewed as a special case of the algebraic path problem.

	Transitive relation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, a binary relation R over a set X is transitive if it holds for all a, b, and c in X, that if a is related to b and b is related to c, then a is related to c.
		Unlike other relation properties, it is not possible to find a general formula that counts the number of transitive relations on a finite set.

		The relation "is a sibling of" on the set of all human beings is not an equivalence relation, and it is worthwhile example to consider.
		The relation is "almost transitive", insofar as whenever A is a sibling of B, and B is a sibling of C, and A

		Transitive Relation Again the definition says if (a,b) and (b,c) is present then (a,c) has to be present to make the relation transitive.
		Transitivity ------------ A relation R on a set A is transitive if: "For all x,y,z in A, ((x,y) in R) AND ((y,z) in R)) -> (x,z) in R" Note that x,y,z need not be different.
		Consider now the relation: R = {(1,2),(2,1)} In this case, if we let x = 1, y = 2, z = 1, we see that (x,y) = (1,2) is in R (y,z) = (2,1) is in R (x,z) = (1,1) is not in R and this shows that the relation is not transitive.

		For example, "descendent of" is a typical transitive relation: if "Marry" is a decscendent of "Paul" and "Paul" is a descendent of "Jim" than clearly "Marry" is a descendent of "Jim".
		By the same token, many famous relations are not transitive: eg in general "mother of" is not a transitive relation: { "Lynn" is the mother "Marry" and "Marry" is a the mother of "Paul" } does not entail that "Lynn" is the mother of "Paul".
		Since we deal only with relations on finite sets, it is convenient to represent the relations as boolean matrices where the pairs (a,b) in a relation are represented by 1's in the respective (row,column) pairs.

	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.
		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.
		The power invested in relation comes from two sources: the set structure of relation and its interpretation as a relationship (in the quotidian parlance) from an element in the first set to an element in the second set.

		Date: 11/10/98 at 11:30:27 From: Mike Subject: Discrete math Suppose R is a symmetric and transitive relation on A. Suppose that for each a in A there is b in A such that (a,b) and is in R. Show: R is an equivalence relation.
		To show that a relation R is an equivalence relation, we need to prove that it has three properties.
		Try finishing the proof using the facts that R is transitive and for each a in A, (a,b) and (b,a) are in R. Once you have finished the first proof, the second two are very similar.

		Now clearly this relation may not be transitive, i.e., there may be vertices v,w,z where there is an edge from v to w and an edge from w to z but no edge from v to z.
		In fact T is the transitive closure of the relation relating vertices v,w if there is an edge from v to w, i.e., T is a transitive relation, T contains all pairs of vertices joined by an edge, and T is the smallest transitive relation containing the edge pairs.

		It is often helpful to envision a relation as a directed graph with nodes corresponding to the elements of A and arcs corresponding to the pairs in R.
		One forms the transitive closure of a non-transitive relation by adding all those pairs and only those pairs that are necessary to cause the relation to be transitive.
		The reflexive-transitive closure of a relation is the result of forming the transitive closure of the reflexive closure of the relation.

	2 Building fuzzy transitive relations
		To be more concrete, in order to apply the transitive closure method to construct a similarity relation and, in general, a fuzzy T-transitive relation, a reflexive and symmetric fuzzy relation has to be used as a starting point.
		In others words, an index of similarity relating each couple of elements in the sample set has to be given: each two elements should be matched, in some way, and then the method is applied to obtain either a similarity or dissimilarity measure.
		It is worth noting that reflexive, symmetric and Z-transitive fuzzy relations are simply those reflexive and symmetric relations for which the 1-level set is a classical equivalence relation.
