dashrightarrow
Represents a dashed right-pointing arrow, commonly used to indicate partial or incomplete mappings, transitions, or implications.
Overview
Serves as a versatile notation element in mathematical and logical contexts where a standard solid arrow might be too definitive or formal.
- Frequently used in category theory to denote partial morphisms or weak relationships
- Common in computer science for indicating potential or conditional transitions
- Appears in set theory and logic to represent tentative or incomplete implications
- Useful in diagram-making where a dashed arrow provides visual distinction from solid arrows
Examples
Representing a weak or tentative implication in logical notation.
