DEFINITIONS

A relation RR on a set AA is reflexive\textbf{reflexive} if (a,a)R(a,a)\in R for every element aAa\in A.

A relation RR on a set AA is symmtric\textbf{symmtric} if (b,a)R(b,a)\in R whenever (a,b)R(a,b) \in R

A relation RR on a set AA is antisymmtric\textbf{antisymmtric} if (b,a)R(b,a)\in R and (a,b)R(a,b) \in R implies a=ba=b

A relation RR on a set AA is transitive\textbf{transitive} if (a,b)R(a,b)\in R and (b,c)R(b,c) \in R implies (a,c)R(a,c)\in R
