Homework Statement
Let R denote the following relation in the set N of natural numbers:
R = {(x, y) | x = 2y}.
Let E be the “smallest” equivalence relation containing R. Give a complete description of the equivalence classes of E.
How can I describe it containing infinite set?
Homework Equations
[An example of smallest equivalence relation can be given as follows::
Let S = {a, b, c, d} and R = {(a, b), (b, c)}, the smallest equivalence relation containing R is {(a, a), (b, b), (c, c), (d, d), (a, b), (b, a), (a, c), (b, c), (c, a), (c, b)}. ]
