<p> If R is a <a href="page.php?w=univalent_relation">univalent</a>, then R;R<sup>T</sup> is transitive.<br/>
: proof: Suppose  Then there are a and b such that  Since R is univalent, yRb and aR<sup>T</sup>y imply a=b. Therefore xRaR<sup>T</sup>z, hence xR;R<sup>T</sup>z and R;R<sup>T</sup> is transitive.</p>

<p><b>Corollary</b>: If R is univalent, then R;R<sup>T</sup> is an <a href="page.php?w=equivalence_relation">equivalence relation</a> on the domain of R.<br/>
: proof: R;R<sup>T</sup> is symmetric and reflexive on its domain. With univalence</p><p>
