@smoky slate I get that what I'm asking here is when we take the equivalence class as [y] = { x | (x,y) β¬ R } how are we saying that in the set [y] everything will be related to each other or such a relation must have existed in the original equivalence relation
This
That is by transitivity
Let a and b be in [y]
Then we know (y,a) and (y,b) are in the relation
By symmetry and transitivity, (a,b) is in the relation
Yes because symmetry
So you see everything in [y] is related to each other
So since we know that it's an equivalence relation we know that for every (x,y) that formed that equivalence class so in the relation there must exist (x,x) and (y,y) and (y,x) among others due to the reflexive symmetric and transitive properties of the equivalence relation
Sorry for bad english
In that way we can say that everything in the equivalence class must be related to each other
The way you worded this seems overly complicated.
Try and rerun herzogs proof a second ago.
If I pick a and b from [y] how can I show a relates to b?
Ok so if I pick a and b from [y] then we can say that (a,y) and (b,y) is a relation that exists right. Since it's an equivalence relation therefore (y,b) also must exist using transitive property on (a,y) and (y,b) we can say that (a,b) also must exist @smoky slate
Yes
Lessgoo
So you proved that any two elements must be related if they are in the same equivalence class
Type .solved if your question is solved
How do u make the graph of the equivalence relation? I thought only poset had hasse diagram
Is it just a directed graph showing relations
Yes
Ok thanks ππΌπππΌπ―
All edges will be bidirectional, so sometimes people just put undirected edges since it is understood
Bidirectional edges self loops
Showing reflexive and symmetry
And fully connected graph showing transitivity
Fully connected? What does that mean
Every node connected to every other
Uh like a complete graph my bad
Not connected
Do you agree that {(a,a),(b,b)} is an equivalence relation on {a,b}
Yes it's sufficient
Will its graph be fully connected?
Ooooooo
It will just be two separate nodes with self loops
But all the vertices in an equivalence class will be fully connected with each other
That is true
But they weren't in ur example
Like a partition was fully connected
Yes
But not every partition was interconnected and they wouldn't be by definition because they are infact partition
Yes
