Popis: In 1963, Zaretskiį established a one-to-one correspondence between the setBX of binary relations on a set X and the set of triples of the form (W, ϕ, V) where W and V are certain lattices and ϕ: W→V is an isomorphism. We provide a multiplication for these triples making the Zaretskiį correspondence a semigroup isomorphism. In addition, we consider faithful representations ofBX by pairs of partial transformations and also as the translational hull of its rectangular relations. Using these triples, we study idempotents, regular and completely regular elements and relationsH-equivalent to some relations with familiar properties such as reflexivity, transitivity, etc.
