subseteqq

Denotes a subset relationship where one set is either equal to or contained within another, with an additional line for emphasis.

Overview

Serves as a specialized mathematical symbol primarily used in set theory and related mathematical proofs to indicate subset relationships with additional emphasis.

  • Common in formal mathematical writing where precise set relationships need to be distinguished
  • Often used alongside similar symbols like \subseteq and \subset to show different levels of inclusion
  • Particularly useful in advanced algebra, topology, and analysis where detailed set relationships are crucial
  • The double line underneath adds emphasis and helps distinguish this from the regular subset or subset-or-equal symbols

Examples

Showing a subset relationship between number sets.

NZQR\mathbb{N} \subseteqq \mathbb{Z} \subseteqq \mathbb{Q} \subseteqq \mathbb{R}
\mathbb{N} \subseteqq \mathbb{Z} \subseteqq \mathbb{Q} \subseteqq \mathbb{R}
