Binary and ternary relations

Vítězslav Novák, Miroslav Novotný (1992)

Mathematica Bohemica

Two operators are constructed which make it possible to transform ternary relations into binary relations defined on binary relations and vice versa. A possible graphical representation of ternary relations is described.

Boolean matrices ... neither Boolean nor matrices

Gabriele Ricci (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

Boolean matrices, the incidence matrices of a graph, are known not to be the (universal) matrices of a Boolean algebra. Here, we also show that their usual composition cannot make them the matrices of any algebra. Yet, later on, we "show" that it can. This seeming paradox comes from the hidden intrusion of a widespread set-theoretical (mis) definition and notation and denies its harmlessness. A minor modification of this standard definition might fix it.
