In [[mathematics]], the word '''''transitive''''' admits at least three distinct meanings: |
|||
The term '''transitivity''' may refer to: |
|||
* A [[group (mathematics)|group]] ''G'' acts '''transitively''' on a [[Set (mathematics)|set]] ''S'' if for any ''x'', ''y'' ∈ ''S'', there is some ''g'' ∈ ''G'' such that ''gx'' = ''y''. See [[group action]]. A somewhat related meaning is explained at [[ergodic theory]]. |
|||
'''In grammar''' |
|||
* A [[binary relation]] is '''transitive''' if whenever A is related to B and B is related to C, then A is related to C, for all A, B, and C in the domain of the relation. See [[transitive relation]]. |
|||
* [[Intransitive verb]] |
|||
* A '''[[transitive set]]''' is a [[Set (mathematics)|set]] A such that whenever ''x'' ∈ ''A'', and ''y'' ∈ ''x'', then ''y'' ∈ ''A''. The smallest transitive set containing a set A is called the [[transitive closure]] of A. |
