nsupseteqq

Denotes a negated double-line superset-or-equal-to relationship between mathematical sets.

Overview

Serves as a specialized mathematical notation primarily used in set theory and advanced mathematical proofs to indicate when one set is not a superset of or equal to another set.

  • Common in formal mathematical writing and theoretical computer science
  • Used when proving set relationships or contradictions
  • Particularly useful in advanced set theory proofs where precise negation of relationships is required
  • Often appears alongside other set comparison symbols in complex mathematical expressions

Examples

Negating a superset-or-equal relationship between sets A and B.

AB    xB:xAA \nsupseteqq B \implies \exists x \in B : x \notin A
A \nsupseteqq B \implies \exists x \in B : x \notin A

Expressing that the real numbers are not a superset of the complex numbers.

RC\mathbb{R} \nsupseteqq \mathbb{C}
\mathbb{R} \nsupseteqq \mathbb{C}

Showing non-containment in a sequence space comparison.

12\ell^1 \nsupseteqq \ell^2
\ell^1 \nsupseteqq \ell^2
