ntrianglelefteq

Represents the mathematical relation 'not left triangle equal to', indicating that one value is not less than or equal to another in a specific partial ordering.

Overview

Serves as a negation of the trianglelefteq relation, commonly used in advanced mathematics and formal logic to express order relationships and set comparisons.

  • Essential in order theory and abstract algebra for describing non-containment or non-dominance.
  • Frequently appears in proofs and formal mathematical writing where precise ordering relationships need to be negated.
  • Particularly useful in lattice theory and when working with partially ordered sets.
  • Often paired with similar ordering symbols to express complex mathematical relationships.

Examples

Expressing that a sequence is not monotonically decreasing.

anan+1a_n \ntrianglelefteq a_{n+1}
a_n \ntrianglelefteq a_{n+1}

Showing a non-dominated relationship between sets.

AB    A⊄BA \ntrianglelefteq B \implies A \not\subset B
A \ntrianglelefteq B \implies A \not\subset B

Denoting non-precedence in a partial order relation.
