A relation , where is the set of natural numbers, such that the function defined on by the condition

is a recursive function. In particular, for any , the universal relation and the zero relation are recursive relations. If and are -place recursive relations, then the relations , , , will also be recursive relations. With regard to the operations , , , the system of all -place recursive relations thus forms a Boolean algebra.
