In mathematics, a binary relation on a set is antisymmetric if there is no pair of distinct elements of each of which is related by to the other. More formally, is antisymmetric precisely if for all ,,, or equivalently, =.
An asymmetric relation need not have the connex property. For example, the strict subset relation is asymmetric, and neither of the sets {,} and {,} is a strict subset of the other. A relation is connex if and only if its complement is asymmetric.
However, a relation can be neither symmetric nor asymmetric, which is the case for "is less than or equal to" and "preys on"). Symmetric and antisymmetric (where the only way a can be related to b and b be related to a is if a = b ) are actually independent of each other, as these examples show.
In mathematics, a relation denotes some kind of relationship between two objects in a set, which may or may not hold. [1] As an example, " is less than " is a relation on the set of natural numbers ; it holds, for instance, between the values 1 and 3 (denoted as 1 < 3 ), and likewise between 3 and 4 (denoted as 3 < 4 ), but not between the ...
A relation is asymmetric if and only if it is both antisymmetric and irreflexive. [35] For example, > is an asymmetric relation, but ≥ {\displaystyle \geq } is not. Transitive : for all x , y , z ∈ X , {\displaystyle x,y,z\in X,} if x R y {\displaystyle xRy} and y R z {\displaystyle yRz} then x R z {\displaystyle xRz} .
