Recursive relation

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.
