5.8  Reflexive and transitive closures of relations A relation, 𝑅, has the reflexive property if 𝐴𝑅𝐴 holds whenever 𝐴 is an element which could be related by the relation, namely, an element of its domain or range. Eliminating dummy variables, we see that a segment of the identity relation must be a subset of the relation, or ( I ↾ (ran 𝑅 ∪ dom 𝑅)) ⊆ 𝑅. See idref 7166. A relation, 𝑅, has the transitive property if 𝐴𝑅𝐶 holds whenever there exists an intermediate value 𝐵 such that both 𝐴𝑅𝐵 and 𝐵𝑅𝐶 hold. This can be expressed without dummy variables as (𝑅 ∘ 𝑅) ⊆ 𝑅. See cotr 6130. The transitive closure of a relation, (t+‘𝑅), is the smallest superset of the relation which has the transitive property. Likewise, the reflexive-transitive closure, (t*‘𝑅), is the smallest superset which has both the reflexive and transitive properties. Not to be confused with the transitive closure of a set, trcl 9768, which is a closure relative to a different transitive property, df-tr 5260.
