Basics on the category of relations #
We define the category of types CategoryTheory.RelCat
with binary relations as morphisms.
Associating each function with the relation defined by its graph yields a faithful and
essentially surjective functor graphFunctor
that also characterizes all isomorphisms
(see rel_iso_iff
).
By flipping the arguments to a relation, we construct an equivalence opEquivalence
between
RelCat
and its opposite.
A type synonym for Type u
, which carries the category instance for which
morphisms are binary relations.
