Relative Complement
- $\relcomp S T$ or $\map {\CC_S} T$
Let $S$ be a set, and let $T \subseteq S$, that is: let $T$ be a subset of $S$.
Then the set difference $S \setminus T$ can be written $\relcomp S T$, and is called the relative complement of $T$ in $S$, or the complement of $T$ relative to $S$.
Thus:
- $\relcomp S T = \set {x \in S : x \notin T}$
The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\relcomp S T\) is \relcomp S T
.
The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\map {\CC_S} T\) is \map {\CC_S} T
