A relation $ R \subseteq \mathbf N ^ {n} $,
where $ \mathbf N $
is the set of natural numbers, such that the function $ f $
defined on $ \mathbf N ^ {n} $
by the condition
$$
f( x _ {1} \dots x _ {n} ) = \left \{
is a recursive function. In particular, for any $ n $,
the universal relation $ \mathbf N ^ {n} $
and the zero relation $ \emptyset $
are recursive relations. If $ R $
and $ S $
are $ n $-
place recursive relations, then the relations $ R \cup S $,
$ R \cap S $,
$ R ^ {c} = \mathbf N ^ {n} \setminus R $,
$ R\setminus S $
will also be recursive relations. With regard to the operations $ \cup $,
$ \cap $,
$ {} ^ {c} $,
the system of all $ n $-
place recursive relations thus forms a Boolean algebra.
