Symmetric Pair
A "Symmetric Pair" refers to a set of two elements that are related in such a way that if one element is related to the other, then the reverse is also true. This concept is often used in mathematics and computer science, particularly in the study of relations and functions. For example, if A is related to B, then B is also related to A.
In graph theory, a symmetric pair can be represented as an undirected edge connecting two vertices. This means that the relationship does not have a direction; both elements hold equal status in the relationship. Symmetric pairs are important in various applications, including network analysis and social relationships.
