Definition df-er 8456

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 8457 we derive a more typical definition. We show that an equivalence relation is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive in erref 8476, ersymb 8470, and ertr 8471. (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 ∪ (𝑅 ∘ 𝑅)) ⊆ 𝑅))
