\backsimeq

The symbol \backsimeq is used to denote a relation that is similar to or approximately equal to another expression. It is often used in mathematical contexts where an exact equality is not necessary, but a close approximation or similarity is implied.

Examples

Indicates that A is approximately or similarly equal to B.

A \backsimeq B

Shows that the function f(x) is approximately equal to the function g(x) over a certain domain.

f(x) \backsimeq g(x)

Represents an approximate relation in a geometric context, such as in a circle or ellipse.

x^2 + y^2 \backsimeq z^2
