downharpoonleft
Represents a downward-pointing harpoon with the barb oriented to the left, commonly used in mathematical notation and vector operations.
Overview
Serves as a specialized mathematical arrow notation, particularly useful in advanced mathematics and theoretical physics contexts.
- Often employed in category theory and abstract algebra to denote specific mappings or transformations
- Used in conjunction with other harpoon arrows to indicate paired operations or dual relationships
- Appears in specialized notation systems for describing morphisms and functional relationships
- Frequently combined with other arrow symbols to create complex mathematical expressions
Examples
Representing a downward left-pointing harpoon vector in a vector field equation.
\vec{F}(x,y) = x\downharpoonleft yDenoting a specialized mapping operation in category theory.
f: A \downharpoonleft BIndicating a specific mathematical relation in order theory.
x \downharpoonleft y \iff x \leq y
