Taming Multirelations (1501.05147v2)
Published 21 Jan 2015 in cs.LO
Abstract: Binary multirelations generalise binary relations by associating elements of a set to its subsets. We study the structure and algebra of multirelations under the operations of union, intersection, sequential and parallel composition, as well as finite and infinite iteration. Starting from a set-theoretic investigation, we propose axiom systems for multirelations in contexts ranging from bi-monoids to bi-quantales.
