The Structure of Relation Algebras Generated by Relativizations.

The foundation for an algebraic theory of binary relations was laid by De Morgan, Peirce, and Schröder during the second half of the nineteenth century. Modern development of the subject as a theory of abstract algebras, called ""relation algebras"", was undertaken by Tarski and...
