Antisymmetric A relation R is antisymmetric if, for all x and y, x R y and y R x => x == y. I.e. no two different elements are mutually related. Partial orders and total orders are antisymmetric. If R is also symmetric (x R y => y R x) then x R y => x == y. I.e. different elements are not related. (1995-04-18). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing.
