Résumé

The complex of multi-ary relations $\mathcal K^n$ is defined in a more natural way than it was defined in [18, 58, 59]. The groups of homologies and co-homologies of this complex over the group of integer numbers are constructed. The methods used for these constructions are for the most part analogous with classical methods [2, 32, 52], but sometimes they are based on methods from [18, 44, 58]. The importance and originality consist in application of the multi-ary relations of a set of objects in construction of homologies. This allows to extend areas of theoretical researches and non-trivial practical applications in a lot of directions. Other abstract structures, which are developed in a natural way from generalized complex of multi-ary relations are also examined. New notions such as the notions of abstract quasi-simplex and its homologies, the complex of abstract simplexes and the complex of the $n$-dimensional abstract cubes are introduced.
