2. Denotes the additive inverse and is read as minus, the negative of, or the opposite of; for example, –2. 3. Also used in place of \ for denoting the set-theoretic complement; see \ in § Set theory. × (multiplication sign) 1. In elementary arithmetic, denotes multiplication, and is read as times; for example, 3 × 2. 2.

The Supplemental Mathematical Operators block (U+2A00–U+2AFF) contains various mathematical symbols, including N-ary operators, summations and integrals, intersections and unions, logical and relational operators, and subset/superset relations.
It is possible for A and B to be equal; if they are unequal, then A is a proper subset of B. The relationship of one set being a subset of another is called inclusion (or sometimes containment). A is a subset of B may also be expressed as B includes (or contains) A or A is included (or contained) in B. A k-subset is a subset with k elements.
Corner quotes, also called “Quine quotes”; for quasi-quotation, i.e. quoting specific context of unspecified (“variable”) expressions; [3] also used for denoting Gödel number; [4] for example “⌜G⌝” denotes the Gödel number of G. (Typographical note: although the quotes appears as a “pair” in unicode (231C and 231D), they ...
unstrict inequality signs (less-than or equals to sign and greater-than or equals to sign) : 1670 (with the horizontal bar over the inequality sign, rather than below it) ...
If admits a totally ordered cofinal subset, then we can find a subset that is well-ordered and cofinal in . Any subset of is also well-ordered. Two cofinal subsets of with minimal cardinality (that is, their cardinality is the cofinality of ) need not be order isomorphic (for example if = +, then both + and {+: <} viewed as subsets of have the countable cardinality of the cofinality of but are ...
Convex hull (red) of a polygon (yellow). The usual set closure from topology is a closure operator. Other examples include the linear span of a subset of a vector space, the convex hull or affine hull of a subset of a vector space or the lower semicontinuous hull ¯ of a function : {}, where is e.g. a normed space, defined implicitly (¯) = ¯, where is the epigraph of a function .
