Thank you... At first i didnt get it but it makes more sense now that i got a good nights rest and read what you posted.

Hey everyone! Names Tony, and yes you can cal me Tone(beep beep). I'm sorry for not introducing myself in my previous posts, but i am under pressure getting this "should-be-simple" discrete structures with all my other finals coming up. I am a new member and I have read previous posts from other members that helped tremendously! I have completed up to calc one and preceeding math classes (trig, algebra "of course", applied). I am enrolled for summer calc 2 so I am sure I'll be exercising my mind routinely on here! I am a CompSci major with a double minor.

I am working on another type problem which wants us to list all the paths of length 2. I definantly know how to do that. I am stuck on the part is wants us to give the matrix for R^2.
Here is the problem and what i have.
abc, bcc, bcd,ccc,ccd,cda,dab <----this is 100% correct on the length 2. so if you could visualize the digraph where a,b,c,d all relate in a clockwise direction with c being reflexive.
Where do i begin to make a matrix for this? I know I can get R^2 of course if i know R-matrix.
Thank You Sincerely,
Tony:)

I am currently in discrete structures and i understand transitive, reflexive and anti-symmetric propteries. I am currently stuck on a type problem that will be on my exam on Equivalence Relations
Here is the problem i am currently studying...
Suppsoe R is an equivalance relation {1,2,3,4,5} What are the equivalence classes of each of the related elements.
1)1 is not related to 2
2)3R5
3)4R2
4)1 is not related to 3
5)3 is not related to 4
I know the answer b/c i have it in front of me, but dont understand y?!
Please if anyone could explain why the equivalence classes are {1} {2,4}{3,5} which would project the data I provided above.
Knowing my properties, i think since!?! 1 is not related to 2, and 1 is not related to 3, 1 has to reflexive? related to itself?
Since nothing relates to 3 and 3 only relates to 5, our equivalence class has to be {3,5}?!?
{2,4} i wouldnt know where to being.
I wish i could better visualize this as a digraph i think it would help me a lot more, but I cant plot this information correctly,
Thank You Sincerely,
Tony
