8.5 Equivalence Relations

Equivalence Relations DEFINITION 1 A relation on a set A is called an equivalence relation if it is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. DEFINITION 2 Two elements a and b that are related by an equivalence relation are called equivalent. The notation a ~ b is often used to denote that a and b are equivalent elements with respect to a particular equivalence relation.

EXAMPLE 2 Let R be the relation on the set of real numbers such that a R b if and only if a - b is an integer. Is R an equivalence relation? Solution: Because a - a = 0 is an integer for all real numbers a, aRa for all real numbers a . Hence, R is reflexive. Now suppose that aRb. Then a - b is an integer, so b - a is also an integer. Hence, bRa. It follows that R is symmetric. If a R b and b R c, then a - b and b - c are integers. Therefore, a - c = (a - b) + (b - c) is also an integer. Hence, aRc. Thus, R is transitive. Consequently, R is an equivalence relation.
