Let a set A=A1∪A2∪…∪AkA={A}_{1}\cup {A}_{2}\cup \ldots \cup {A}_{k}A=A1​∪A2​∪…∪Ak​, where Ai∩Aj=ϕ{A}_{i}\cap {A}_{j}=\phiAi​∩Aj​=ϕ for i≠j;1≤i,j≤k.i\neq j;1\leq i,j\leq k.i=j;1≤i,j≤k. Define the relation RRR from AAA to AAA by R=R=R={(x,y):y∈Ai(x,y):y\in {A}_{i}(x,y):y∈Ai​ if and only if x∈Ai,1≤i≤kx\in {A}_{i},1\leq i\leq kx∈Ai​,1≤i≤k}. Then, RRR is:
