If A is a set, then the absolute complement of A (or simply the complement of A) is the set of elements not in A (within a larger set that is implicitly defined). In other words, let U be a set that contains all the elements under study; if there is no need to mention U, either because it has been previously specified, or it is obvious and unique, then the absolute complement of A is the ...
Deutsch: Dieses Dokument listet 20323 Symbole und die dazugehörigen LaTeX-Befehle auf. Manche Symbole sind in jedem LaTeX-2ε-System verfügbar; andere benötigen zusätzliche Schriftarten oder Pakete, die nicht notwendig in jeder Distribution mitgeliefert werden und daher selbst installiert werden müssen.
The following table lists many common symbols, together with their name, how they should be read out loud, and the related field of mathematics. Additionally, the subsequent columns contains an informal explanation, a short example, the Unicode location, the name for use in HTML documents, [1] and the LaTeX symbol.
This article lists mathematical properties and laws of sets, involving the set-theoretic operations of union, intersection, and complementation and the relations of set equality and set inclusion. It also provides systematic procedures for evaluating expressions, and performing calculations, involving these operations and relations.
Set-builder notation can be used to describe a set that is defined by a predicate, that is, a logical formula that evaluates to true for an element of the set, and false otherwise. [2] In this form, set-builder notation has three parts: a variable, a colon or vertical bar separator, and a predicate.
That is, for any sets ,, and , one has = () = () Inside a universe , one may define the complement of to be the set of all elements of not in . Furthermore, the intersection of A {\displaystyle A} and B {\displaystyle B} may be written as the complement of the union of their complements, derived easily from De Morgan's laws : A ∩ B = ( A c ...
In geometry, topology, and related branches of mathematics, a closed set is a set whose complement is an open set. [1] [2] In a topological space, a closed set can be defined as a set which contains all its limit points. In a complete metric space, a closed set is a set which is closed under the limit operation.
But LaTeX command \complement is certainly not intended to be used in exponent (otherwise, its use should be \complement{A}). I have often encountered the notation ∁ A , {\displaystyle \complement A,} which has been introduced by Bourbaki (see [1] for an early use, and [2] for a previous Bourbaki's text that uses a different notation).
