supseteqq

Denotes a superset relationship with a double line and equals sign, indicating one set contains another set while potentially being equal.

Overview

Serves as a specialized mathematical relation symbol primarily used in set theory and advanced mathematics to express refined set relationships.

  • Common in formal mathematical proofs and set theory demonstrations
  • Useful when emphasizing both superset relationships and potential equality
  • Often appears alongside other set comparison operators in mathematical literature
  • Particularly valuable in abstract algebra and topology where precise set relationships need to be specified

Examples

Expressing that set A contains or equals set B with respect to some property.

AB    xB:P(x)Q(x)A \supseteqq B \implies \forall x \in B: P(x) \leq Q(x)
A \supseteqq B \implies \forall x \in B: P(x) \leq Q(x)
