Computing | Transitive closure The transitive closure R* of a relation R is defined by x R y => x R* y x R y and y R* z => x R* z I.e. elements are related by R* if they are related by R directly or through some sequence of intermediate related elements. E.g. in graph theory, if R is the relation on nodes "has an edge leading to" then the transitive closure of R is the relation "has a path of zero or more edges to".

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In more concrete terms the transitive closure of R is the relation R* such that xR*y if xRy, or if xRz for some z with zRy, or if xRz and zRw and wRy for some z and w in X, and so on for any number of intermediates. If X is the set of humans (alive or dead) and R is the relation 'parent of', then xR*y means y is a direct descendant of x.
