The following identities capture notable properties of relative complements: A binary relation R {\displaystyle R} is defined as a subset of a product of sets X × Y . {\displaystyle X\times Y.} The complementary relation R ¯ {\displaystyle {\bar {R}}} is the set complement of R {\displaystyle R} in X × Y . {\displaystyle X\times Y.} The complement of relation R {\displaystyle R} can be written R ¯ = ( X × Y ) ∖ R . {\displaystyle {\bar {R}}\ =\ (X\times Y)\setminus R.} Here, R {\displaystyle R}

#1732776708501264-561: Is ambiguous, as in some contexts (for example, Minkowski set operations in functional analysis ) it can be interpreted as the set of all elements b − a , {\displaystyle b-a,} where b is taken from B and a from A . Formally: B ∖ A = { x ∈ B : x ∉ A } . {\displaystyle B\setminus A=\{x\in B:x\notin A\}.} Let A , B , and C be three sets in

330-661: Is usually used for rendering a set difference symbol, which is similar to a backslash symbol. When rendered, the \setminus command looks identical to \backslash , except that it has a little more space in front and behind the slash, akin to the LaTeX sequence \mathbin{\backslash} . A variant \smallsetminus is available in the amssymb package, but this symbol is not included separately in Unicode. The symbol ∁ {\displaystyle \complement } (as opposed to C {\displaystyle C} )
352-685: The complement of A ) is the set of elements not in A (within a larger set that is implicitly defined). In other words, let U be a set that contains all the elements under study; if there is no need to mention U , either because it has been previously specified, or it is obvious and unique, then the absolute complement of A is the relative complement of A in U : A ∁ = U ∖ A = { x ∈ U : x ∉ A } . {\displaystyle A^{\complement }=U\setminus A=\{x\in U:x\notin A\}.} The absolute complement of A
374-480: The relative complement of A in B , also termed the set difference of B and A , is the set of elements in B but not in A . The relative complement of A in B is denoted B ∖ A {\displaystyle B\setminus A} according to the ISO 31-11 standard . It is sometimes written B − A , {\displaystyle B-A,} but this notation
396-472: The complementary relation to R {\displaystyle R} then corresponds to switching all 1s to 0s, and 0s to 1s for the logical matrix of the complement. Together with composition of relations and converse relations , complementary relations and the algebra of sets are the elementary operations of the calculus of relations . In the LaTeX typesetting language, the command \setminus
