Quasitransitive relation information


The quasitransitive relation x5/4y. Its symmetric and transitive part is shown in blue and green, respectively.

The mathematical notion of quasitransitivity is a weakened version of transitivity that is used in social choice theory and microeconomics. Informally, a relation is quasitransitive if it is symmetric for some values and transitive elsewhere. The concept was introduced by Sen (1969) to study the consequences of Arrow's theorem.
