Such a retation is called a binary relation. In this book, we shall be concerned only with binary relations, hence by arelation, we shall always mean a binary relation. IfR is a relation from A to B ie,, RS,A x Band if (a, 6) ER, = " write p : : i ay a and say that a is R-related to 6 anid if (a, 6) ¢ R, then we write a R 6 and say Retelated to b. IfB = A, then we say'R (R & A X A) is a relation in A. an Then there are 2 t B has n elements.

Remark : For convenience, we generally use the symbol < in place of R. Thus whenever wwe say that P is a poset, it would be understood that < is the relation defined on P, unless another symbol is mentioned. We read << as less than or equal to (although it may have nothing to do with usual less than or equal to that we are familiar with). Thus (P, =) is @ poset. Sometime, we also write the post (P, <) by (P, b=a'l and c= b? where 1), 7 are positive integers. Now c= b= («")" ai? c= a" where r= rr, isa positive integer. a (Z’,S)is transitive.
