In linguistics, antisymmetry is a syntactic theory presented in Richard S. Kayne's 1994 monograph The Antisymmetry of Syntax. [1] It asserts that grammatical hierarchies in natural language follow a universal order, namely specifier-head-complement branching order. The theory builds on the foundation of the X-bar theory.
A skew-symmetric graph may equivalently be defined as the double covering graph of a polar graph or switch graph, [1] which is an undirected graph in which the edges incident to each vertex are partitioned into two subsets. Each vertex of the polar graph corresponds to two vertices of the skew-symmetric graph, and each edge of the polar graph ...
Competition among plants for light is size-asymmetric because of the directionality of its supply. [2] Higher leaves shade lower leaves but not vice versa. Competition for nutrients appears to be relatively size-symmetric, [9] although it has been hypothesized that a patchy distribution of nutrients in the soil may lead to size asymmetry in competition among roots.
Asymmetric competition is a form of business competition in which firms compete in some markets or contexts but not in others. [1] In such cases, a firm may choose to allocate competitive resources and marketing actions among its competitors out of proportion to their market share .

An asymmetric payoff (also called an asymmetric return) is the set of possible results of an investment strategy where the upside potential is greater than the downside risk. [1] Derivative contracts called “options” are the most common instrument with asymmetric payoff characteristics. [ 2 ]
Asymmetric price transmission (sometimes abbreviated as APT and informally called "rockets and feathers" , also known as asymmetric cost pass-through) refers to pricing phenomenon occurring when downstream prices react in a different manner to upstream price changes, depending on the characteristics of upstream prices or changes in those prices.
The Z-channel sees each 0 bit of a message transmitted correctly always and each 1 bit transmitted correctly with probability 1–p, due to noise across the transmission medium. In coding theory and information theory, a Z-channel or binary asymmetric channel is a communications channel used to model the behaviour of some data storage systems.
