Representing Relations
Based on Aaron BloomfieldModified by Longin Jan Latecki
Rosen, Section 8.3
2
In this slide set…
• Matrix review• Two ways to represent relations
– Via matrices– Via directed graphs
3
Matrix review
• We will only be dealing with zero-one matrices– Each element in the matrix is either a 0 or a 1
• These matrices will be used for Boolean operations– 1 is true, 0 is false

Matrix transposition• Given a matrix M, the transposition of M, denoted Mt, is the
matrix obtained by switching the columns and rows of M
• In a “square” matrix, the main diagonal stays unchanged

Matrix join
• A join of two matrices performs a Boolean OR on each relative entry of the matrices– Matrices must be the same size– Denoted by the or symbol:

0011110001100110
0101010100100001

Matrix meet
• A meet of two matrices performs a Boolean AND on each relative entry of the matrices– Matrices must be the same size– Denoted by the or symbol:
0001010000100000
0011110001100110
0101010100100001

Matrix Boolean product• A Boolean product of two matrices is similar to matrix
multiplication
– Instead of the sum of the products, it’s the conjunction (and) of the disjunctions (ors)
– Denoted by the or symbol:

Relations using matrices
• List the elements of sets A and B in a particular order– Order doesn’t matter, but we’ll generally use
ascending order• Create a matrix ][ ijR mM

Relations using matrices
• Consider the relation of who is enrolled in which class– Let A = { Alice, Bob, Claire, Dan }– Let B = { CS101, CS201, CS202 }– R = { (a,b) | person a is enrolled in course b }

Relations using matrices
• What is it good for?– It is how computers view relations
• A 2-dimensional array– Very easy to view relationship properties
• We will generally consider relations on a single set– In other words, the domain and co-domain are
the same set– And the matrix is square
11
Reflexivity
• Consider a reflexive relation: ≤– One which every element is related to itself– Let A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
1000011000111001111011111
M
If the center (main) diagonal is all 1’s, a relation is reflexive
12
Irreflexivity
• Consider a reflexive relation: <– One which every element is not related to itself– Let A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
0000010000110001110011110
M
If the center (main) diagonal is all 0’s, a relation is irreflexive

Symmetry
• Consider an symmetric relation R– One which if a is related to b then b is related to a for
all (a,b)– Let A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
• If, for every value, it is the equal to the value in its transposed position, then the relation is symmetric
14
0000010000110001110011110
M
Asymmetry
• Consider an asymmetric relation: <– One which if a is related to b then b is not related to a
for all (a,b)– Let A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 } • If, for every value and the
value in its transposed position, if they are not both 1, then the relation is asymmetric
• An asymmetric relation must also be irreflexive
• Thus, the main diagonal must be all 0’s
15

M
Antisymmetry
• Consider an antisymmetric relation: ≤– One which if a is related to b then b is not related to a
unless a=b for all (a,b)– Let A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 } • If, for every value
and the value in its transposed position, if they are not both 1, then the relation is antisymmetric
• The center diagonal can have both 1’s and 0’s
16
Transitivity
• Consider an transitive relation: ≤– One which if a is related to b and b is related to c then
a is related to c for all (a,b), (b,c) and (a,c)– Let A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
1000011000111001111011111
M
• If, for every spot (a,b) and (b,c) that each have a 1, there is a 1 at (a,c), then the relation is transitive
• Matrices don’t show this property easily

Representing relations using directed graphs
• A directed graph consists of:– A set V of vertices (or nodes)– A set E of edges (or arcs)– If (a, b) is in the relation, then there is an arrow from a to b
• Will generally use relations on a single set• Consider our relation R = { (a,b) | a divides b }
• Old way:1

Reflexivity
• Consider a reflexive relation: ≤– One which every element is related to itself– Let A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
If every node has a loop, a relation is reflexive

Irreflexivity
• Consider a reflexive relation: <– One which every element is not related to itself– Let A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
If every node does not have a loop, a relation is irreflexive

Symmetry
• Consider an symmetric relation R– One which if a is related to b then b is related to a for
all (a,b)– Let A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
• If, for every edge, there is an edge in the other direction, then the relation is symmetric
• Loops are allowed, and do not need edges in the “other” direction

Called anti-parallel pairs
24
Asymmetry
• Consider an asymmetric relation: <– One which if a is related to b then b is not related to a
for all (a,b)– Let A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
• A digraph is asymmetric if:1. If, for every edge, there is not
an edge in the other direction, then the relation is asymmetric
2. Loops are not allowed in an asymmetric digraph (recall it must be irreflexive)

Antisymmetry
• Consider an antisymmetric relation: ≤– One which if a is related to b then b is not related to a
unless a=b for all (a,b)– Let A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }

• If, for every edge, there is not an edge in the other direction, then the relation is antisymmetric
• Loops are allowed in the digraph
26
Transitivity
• Consider an transitive relation: ≤– One which if a is related to b and b is related to c then
a is related to c for all (a,b), (b,c) and (a,c)– Let A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }

• A digraph is transitive if, for there is a edge from a to c when there is a edge from a to b and from b to c

Rosen, Section 8.1 question 45(a)
• How many symmetric relations are there on a set with n elements?
• Solution guide explanation is pretty poorly worded
• So instead we’ll use matrices
30
Rosen, Section 8.1 question 45 (a)• Consider the matrix representing symmetric relation R on a set with
n elements:• The center diagonal can have any values• Once the “upper” triangle is determined,
the “lower” triangle must be the transposed version of the “upper” one
• How many ways are there to fill in the center diagonal and the upper triangle?
• There are n2 elements in the matrix• There are n elements in the center diagonal
– Thus, there are 2n ways to fill in 0’s and 1’s in the diagonal• Thus, there are (n2-n)/2 elements in each triangle
– Thus, there are ways to fill in 0’s and 1’s in the triangle
• Answer: there are possible symmetric relations on a set with n elements

Biggest software errors• Ariane 5 rocket explosion (1996)
– Due to loss of precision converting 64-bit double to 16-bit int• Pentium division error (1994)
– Due to incomplete look-up table (like an array)• Patriot-Scud missile error (1991)
– Rounding error on the time– The missile did not intercept an incoming Scud missile, leaving 28 dead and 98
wounded• Mars Climate Orbiter (1999)
– Onboard used metric units; ground computer used English units• AT&T long distance (1990)
– Wrong break statement in C code• Therac-25, X-ray (1975-1987)
– Badly designed software led to radiation overdose in chemotherapy patients• NE US power blackout (2003)
– Flaw in GE software contributed to it
