Relation concatenation

Definition

$ R \in \text{Rel}(X,U) $
$ S \in \text{Rel}(V,Y) $
$ \langle x,y \rangle \in S\circ R $
$ \exists m.\ \langle x,m \rangle \in R \land \langle m,y \rangle \in S $

Ramifications

Satisfies

Concatenations/compositions are associative.

Discussion

A mayority of uses of the relation concatenation is when the relation is functional, i.e. one composes functions alla

$g:X\to Y,\ \ f:Y\to Z$

then

$f\circ g:X\to Z$

$(f\circ g)(x):=f(g(x))$

Context
