Definition talk:Restriction/Relation

The definition uses the curly R to denote a relation, and then goes on to take the intersection of it and "X x Y", but in the definition of a relation, the curly R is defined as an ordered triple (curly) R = (S, T, R) - where the inner R is a non-curly R. Either I'm missing something or it would be more appropriate to take the intersection with the non-curly R in the definition of a restriction here.
I hope I make sense.
- Done as suggested. It is of course necessary in that case to explain what $R$ actually is, while using the implicit form where $\RR$ is "understood" to be "just" the subset of $S \times T$, rather than the fully fussy form $\RR = \struct {S, T, R}$ which requires the careful definition of the notation.
- Never sure which is best, but at this level the full notation is probably recommended.
- May be worth adding an "also presented as" section to document the more compact form. --prime mover (talk) 00:08, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
