FAQs On Asymmetric Relation
What is meant by asymmetric relation?
An asymmetric relation is a specific type of binary relation on a set where the order of elements matters. In an asymmetric relation, if the pair (a, b) is in the relation, then the pair (b, a) must not be in the relation for any elements a and b from the set. In other words, the relationship is one-directional or asymmetric.
What is an example of an asymmetric relationship?
An example of an asymmetric relationship can be found in the “parent” relationship
Is identity relation asymmetric?
No, the identity relation is not asymmetric. The identity relation on a set is defined in such a way that every element is related to itself.
Is An Empty relation asymmetric?
Yes, the empty relation is considered asymmetric. An empty relation on a set is one that contains no ordered pairs
