In order for this relation to be a partial order, it has to be reflexive, antisymmetric and transitive. \textbf{Reflexive:} All elements are related to themself %REFLEXIVE \textbf{Antisymmetric:} No relation have a symmetric counterpart \\ (Listing the ones that don't have a symmetric counterpart would just be listing the whole set) \\ \textbf{Transitive:} All pair of relations where $xRy$ and $yRz$ has its transitive counterpart %TRANSITIVE Hence the relation is a partial order
