rel_reduction_hasse {agop}R Documentation

Hasse Diagrams

Description

This function computes the reflexive reduction and a kind of transitive reduction which is useful for drawing Hasse diagrams.

Usage

rel_reduction_hasse(R)

Arguments

R

an object coercible to a 0-1 (logical) square matrix, representing a binary relation on a finite set.

Details

The input matrix R might not necessarily be acyclic/asymmetric, i.e., it may represent any totally preordered set (which induces an equivalence relation on the underlying preordered set). The implemented algorithm runs in O(n^3) time and first determines the transitive closure of R. If an irreflexive R is given, then the transitive closures of R and of the resulting matrix are identical. Moreover, if R is additionally acyclic, then this function is equivalent to rel_reduction_transitive.

Value

The rel_reduction_hasse function returns a logical square matrix. dimnames of R are preserved.
