Lets say you have a graph and x goes to y, y goes to itself and then y goes back to x. Can you call this a transitive relation?
My answer: yes it is transitive because x R y, y R y and y R x but what confuses me is that I learned transitivity as follows:
if x R y and y R z then x R z. But in the case above x R x if you reason like this. If find this a bit confusing. Can anyone please explain this?
Thanks in advance
