Relation (mathematics): Examples, Overview & Properties of relations

In mathematics, a relation denotes some kind of relationship between two objects in a set, which may or may not hold. As an example, "is less than" is a relation on the set of natural numbers; it holds, for instance, between the values 1 and 3 (denoted as 1 < 3), and likewise between 3 and 4 (denoted as 3 < 4), but not between the values 3 and 1 nor…
