✦ Synopsis

We characterize the binary relations with the largest and next largest common consequent indices, and disclose the existence of gaps in the set of common consequent indices of binary relations. We also obtain the largest common consequent indices of binary relations in the classes of reducible and symmetric binary relations, respectively, and characterize the reducible and symmetric binary relations with the largest common consequent indices separately.
