Definition df-refrels 37381

Description: Define the class of reflexive relations. This is practically dfrefrels2 37383 (which reveals that RefRels can not include proper classes like I as is elements, see comments of dfrefrels2 37383).

Another alternative definition is dfrefrels3 37384. The element of this class and the reflexive relation predicate (df-refrel 37382) are the same, that is, (𝑅 ∈ RefRels ↔ RefRel 𝑅) when 𝐴 is a set, see elrefrelsrel 37390.

This definition is similar to the definitions of the classes of symmetric (df-symrels 37413) and transitive (df-trrels 37443) relations. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 7-Jul-2019.)
