Is Subset an Equivalence Relation? | Set Theory

Is the subset relation on all sets and equivalence relation? If so, it must be reflexive, symmetric, and transitive! We'll prove in today's set theory lesson that subset is a reflexive relation and a transitive relation, but it is not symmetric. If A is a subset of B, we cannot conclude that B is a subset of A.

For an example of sets that violate the symmetric property, consider any proper subset A of a set B. If A is a proper subset, then A is a subset of B and B will not be a subset of A. For a more specific example, consider A = integers and B = real numbers.

I hope you find this video helpful, and be sure to ask any questions down in the comments!

Is the subset relation anti symmetric?

also "set" of all sets is not a set so can't have ANY relation on it.
me being Bertrand Russell nitpicky.
