Definition df-er 6638

Description: Define the equivalence relation predicate. Our notation is not standard. A formal notation doesn't seem to exist in the literature; instead only informal English tends to be used. The present definition, although somewhat cryptic, nicely avoids dummy variables. In dfer2 6639 we derive a more typical definition. We show that an equivalence relation is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive in erref 6658, ersymb 6652, and ertr 6653. (Contributed by NM, 4-Jun-1995.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 2-Nov-2015.)

Assertion

Ref	Expression
df-er	|- ( R Er A <-> ( Rel R /\ dom R = A /\ ( `' R u. ( R o. R ) ) C_ R ) )
