This paper investigated the incomplete information system in which situation of the more missing or absent unknown values. Based on the original characteristic relation, we proposed a new reflective relation which was controlled by the parameter alpha, beta. By analyzing illustrative examples and comparing to the original characteristic relation, this paper indicated the validity and practicabi...

This paper introduces some notions concerning binary relations according to [9]. It is also an attempt to complement the knowledge contained in the Mizar Mathematical Library regarding binary relations. We define here an image and inverse image of element of set A under binary relation of two sets A, B as image and inverse image of singleton of the element under this relation, respectively. Nex...

When a binary liquid is confined by a strongly repulsive wall, the local density is depleted near the wall and an interface similar to that between the liquid and its vapor is formed. This analogy suggests that the composition of the binary liquid near this interface should exhibit spatial modulation similar to that near a liquid-vapor interface even if the interactions of the wall with the two...

The property of transitivity is one of the most important for fuzzy binary relations, especially in the cases when they are used for the representation of real life similarity or ordering information. As far as the algorithmic part of the actual calculation of the transitive closure of such relations is concerned, works in the literature mainly focus on crisp symmetric relations, paying little ...

In this paper we say that a preference for freedom of choice is justifiable if there exists a reflexive and complete binary relation on the set of alternatives, such that one opportunity set is at least as good as a second, if and only if the there is at least one alternative from the first set which is no worse than any alternative of the two sets combined together, with respect to the binary ...

This paper introduces the concept of ordient for binary relations (preferences), a relative of the concept of gradient for functions (utilities). The main motivation for this study is to replace the binary relation at the center stage of economic analysis, rather than its representation (whenever it exists). Moreover, ordients have a natural economic interpretation as marginal rates of substitu...

The foundation of an algebraic theory of binary relations was laid by C. S. Peirce, building on earlier work of Boole and De Morgan. The basic universe of discourse of this theory is a collection of binary relations over some set, and the basic operations on these relations are those of forming unions, complements, relative products (i.e., compositions), and converses (i.e., inverses). There is...

Let us say that an infinite binary sequence q lies above an infinite binary sequence p if q can be obtained from p by replacing selected 0’s in p by 1’s. We show that above any infinite binary Martin-Löf random sequence p there exists an infinite binary nonrandom sequence q above which there exists an infinite binary random sequence r. This result is of interest especially in connection with th...

ly, we assume there is some function that extracts the angles, size, color, or whatever other property of elements we’re interested in. Two elements would be considered equivalent iff the function extracts the same value for each. � Course Notes, Week 4: Binary Relations 3 For example, if fc is the function mapping a triangle to the lengths its sides, then fc determines the congruence relation....
