Theorem

Let $\RR$ be a serial relation on $S$.

Then the preimage of $\RR$ is $S$ (the domain of $\RR$).


Proof

\(\ds S\) \(\supseteq\) \(\ds \Preimg \RR\) Definition of Preimage of Relation
\(\ds \forall s \in S: \exists t \in S: \, \) \(\ds \tuple {s, t}\) \(\in\) \(\ds \RR\) Definition of Serial Relation
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) \(\ds \forall s \in S: \, \) \(\ds s\) \(\in\) \(\ds \Preimg \RR\) Definition of Preimage of Relation
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) \(\ds S\) \(\subseteq\) \(\ds \Preimg \RR\) Definition of Subset
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) \(\ds S\) \(=\) \(\ds \Preimg \RR\) Definition 2 of Set Equality
