Theorem dfrefrel3 35758

Description: Alternate definition of the reflexive relation predicate. A relation is reflexive iff: for all elements on its domain and range, if an element of its domain is the same as an element of its range, then there is the relation between them.

Note that this is definitely not the definition we are accustomed to, like e.g. idref 6910 / idrefALT 5975 or df-reflexive 44874 ⊢ (𝑅Reflexive𝐴 ↔ (𝑅 ⊆ (𝐴 × 𝐴) ∧ ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝐴𝑥𝑅𝑥)). It turns out that the not-surprising definition which contains ∀𝑥 ∈ dom 𝑟𝑥𝑟𝑥 needs symmetry as well, see refsymrels3 35804. Only when this symmetry condition holds, like in case of equivalence relations, see dfeqvrels3 35826, can we write the traditional form ∀𝑥 ∈ dom 𝑟𝑥𝑟𝑥 for reflexive relations. For the special case with square Cartesian product when the two forms are equivalent see idinxpssinxp4 35579 where ⊢ (∀𝑥 ∈ 𝐴∀𝑦 ∈ 𝐴(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑥𝑅𝑦) ↔ ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝐴𝑥𝑅𝑥). See also similar definition of the converse reflexive relations class dfcnvrefrel3 35771. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 8-Jul-2019.)
