A submodule $ r $
of the direct sum $ A \oplus B $
of two modules $ A $
and $ B $
over some ring $ R $.
An additive relation can thus be regarded also as a (not necessary single-valued) mapping $ r: A \huR B $
or, more exactly, as a "many-valued" homomorphism, i.e. a homomorphism $ r ^ {0} $
of the submodule $ \mathop{\rm Def} r $
into the quotient module $ B/ \mathop{\rm Ind} (r) $
where
$$ \mathop{\rm Def} r = \{ {a \in A } : {\exists b \in B ( a , b ) \in r } \} , $$
$$ \mathop{\rm Ker} r = \{ a \in A : (a , 0 ) \in r \} , $$
$$ \mathop{\rm Ind} r = \mathop{\rm Ker} r ^ {-1} . $$
Here, $ r ^ {-1} : B \huR A $ is the relation inverse to $ r $; it consists of all pairs $ (b, a) \in B \oplus A $ such that $ (a, b) \in r $. Conversely, if a submodule $ S \subset A $, a quotient module $ B/L $ of the module $ B $ and a homomorphism $ \beta : S \rightarrow B/L $ are given, then there also exists a unique additive relation $ r: A \huR B $ such that $ r ^ {0} = \beta $.
If two additive relations $ r: A \huR B $ and $ s: B \huR C $ are given, then, as in the case of other binary relations, it is possible to define their product, $ sr: A \huR C $, which is the set of all pairs $ (a, c) \in A \oplus C $ such that there exists an element $ b \in B $ for which $ (a, b) \in r $ and $ (b, c) \in s $. This multiplication is associative (wherever defined) and, moreover, the additive relations form a category with involution $ r \rightarrow r ^ {-1} $.
Additive relations are used in natural definitions of connecting homomorphisms for exact sequences of complexes. The above considerations are valid not only in the category of modules, but also in any other Abelian category.
