Problem 4: Graphs and Relations

Consider an arbitrary directed graph G = (V, E).

[a] How is E related to the concept of Cartesian product?

[b] Let A be a binary relation over V X V such that vAw means that vertex v is adjacent to vertex w. Discuss whether the relation A is reflexive, irreflexive, symmetric, antisymmetric, asymmetric, or transitive.

[c] Let C be a binary relation over V X V such that vCw means that that vertex v is connected to vertex w. Discuss whether the relation C is reflexive, irreflexive, symmetric, antisymmetric, asymmetric, or transitive.

[d] Assuming we know all pairs of the relation A, how can we determine all pairs of the relation C?
