Equivalence relation: Connections to other relations, Algebraic structure & Examples

In mathematics, an equivalence relation is a binary relation that is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. The equipollence relation between line segments in geometry is a common example of an equivalence relation. A simpler example is numerical equality. Any number a {\displaystyle a} is equal to itself (reflexive). If a = b {\displaystyle a=b} , then b…
