14 Congruence modulo n Definition Let n be a positive integer. We say that the integers x is congruent modulo n to y, denoted by x y (mod n) provided n y x. Tom Lewis () 14 Equivalence Relations Fall Term / 10
15 Congruence modulo n Definition Let n be a positive integer. We say that the integers x is congruent modulo n to y, denoted by x y (mod n) provided n y x. Theorem Let n be a positive integer. The relation {(a, b) Z Z : a b (mod n)} is an equivalence relation. Tom Lewis () 14 Equivalence Relations Fall Term / 10
16 Has-the-same-size-as Definition Let Ω be a set and let P be its power set. Given A, B P, define a relation R on P by (A, B) R provided that A = B. In other words, A and B are related provided that they have the same size. This is called the has-the-same-size-as relation. Tom Lewis () 14 Equivalence Relations Fall Term / 10
17 Has-the-same-size-as Definition Let Ω be a set and let P be its power set. Given A, B P, define a relation R on P by (A, B) R provided that A = B. In other words, A and B are related provided that they have the same size. This is called the has-the-same-size-as relation. Theorem The has-the-same-size-as relation is an equivalence relation.

18 Equivalence classes Definition Let R be an equivalence relation on a set A and let a A. The equivalence class of a, denoted by [a], is the set of all elements of A that are related to a through the relation R; that is, [a] = {x A : xra} Tom Lewis () 14 Equivalence Relations Fall Term / 10
