In [[mathematics]], '''transitivity''' is a mathematical property of [[binary relation]]s such that if A and B are related, and B and C are related, then it follows that A and C are also related.
'''Transitivity''' or '''transitive''' may refer to:


{{TOC right}}
In notation, this is:
==Grammar==
* [[Transitivity (grammar)]], a property regarding whether a lexical item denotes a transitive object
* [[Transitive verb]], a verb which takes an object
* [[Transitive case]], a grammatical case to mark arguments of a transitive verb


==Logic and mathematics==
:<math>a R b \wedge b R c \Rightarrow a R c</math>
* [[Transitive group action]]
* [[Transitive relation]], a binary relation in which if ''A'' is related to ''B'' and ''B'' is related to ''C'', then ''A'' is related to ''C''
* [[Syllogism]], a related notion in propositional logic
* [[Intransitivity]], properties of binary relations in mathematics
* [[Arc-transitive graph]], a graph whose automorphism group acts transitively upon ordered pairs of adjacent vertices
* [[Edge-transitive graph]], a graph whose automorphism group acts transitively upon its edges
* [[Vertex-transitive graph]], a graph whose automorphism group acts transitively upon its vertices
* [[Transitive set]] a set ''A'' such that whenever ''x'' ∈ ''A'', and ''y'' ∈ ''x'', then ''y'' ∈ ''A''
* [[Topological transitivity]] property of a continuous map for which every open subset ''U''' of the phase space intersects every other open subset ''V'', when going along trajectory


==Other==
For example, "is greater than" and "is equal to" are transitive relations: if a=b and b=c, then a=c.
* [[Transitive Corporation]], a computer software firm that developed QuickTransit cross-platform virtualization
* [[Transitive dependency]], a functional dependency of database management which holds by virtue of transitive relation


==See also==
On the other hand, "is the mother of" is not a transitive relation, because if Alice is the mother of Brenda, and Brenda is the mother of Claire, then Alice is not the mother of Claire.
