It is also called the commutative law. Suppose a binary operation * is defined between any two elements x and y in a set S. When the relationship x * y = y * x holds for this operation (associative), the operation is said to be commutative, and the law expressed by this relationship is called the commutative law. Well-known operations for which the commutative law holds include the following: (1) Addition (+) and multiplication (×) of numbers, including natural numbers, rational numbers, irrational numbers, real numbers, and complex numbers. x + y = y + x , x × y = y × x (2) Union ∪ and intersection ∩ for subsets of a set. x ∪ y = y ∪ x , x ∩ y = y ∩ x (3) Disjunctions (forming logical OR) ∨ and conjunctions (forming logical AND) ∧ of propositions in symbolic logic. x ∨ y = y ∨ x , x ∧ y = y ∧ x (4) Addition (+) of vectors, and multiplication (-) to create an inner product. x + y = y + x , x・y = y・x The commutative law does not hold for square matrix multiplication. In general, in a transformation group, the order in which the transformations are repeated has an effect, so the commutative law does not necessarily hold.

交換律ともいう。集合 Sの任意の2元 x,yの間にある2項演算*が定義されているとする。この演算 (結合法) に関して,x*y=y*xという関係が成り立つとき,この演算は可換であるといい,この関係式で示される法則を交換法則という。交換法則が成り立つ演算でよく知られているものとしては,次のようなものがある。 (1) 自然数,有理数,無理数,実数,あるいは複素数など数についての加法+,および乗法×。 x+y=y+x,x×y=y×x (2) ある集合の部分集合についての結び∪および交わり∩。 x∪y=y∪x,x∩y=y∩x (3) 記号論理における命題についての選言詞 (論理和をつくる) ∨,および連言詞 (論理積をつくる) ∧。 x∨y=y∨x,x∧y=y∧x (4) ベクトルについての加法+,および内積をつくる乗法・。 x+y=y+x,x・y=y・x 正方行列の乗法は交換法則が成り立たない。一般に変換群では,変換を繰返す順序が影響するので,交換法則が成立するとはかぎらないわけである。 出典 ブリタニカ国際大百科事典 小項目事典ブリタニカ国際大百科事典 小項目事典について 情報 |
