Abstract
This paper aims to investigate properties of involution binary relations, which are some particular binary relations. We study the concepts of involution spanning sets and give some examples related to different involution binary relations. Moreover, some relationships among the involution independent sets, codes, and involution codes are studied when the mapping function is either a morphic or an antimorphic involution of \(X^*\).
