Examples

Element a is less than or approximately equal to element b.

a \precsim b

f (x) ≾ g (x)

Function f(x) is less than or approximately equal to function g(x) for all x in the domain.

f(x) \precsim g(x)

x^{2} ≾ x^{3}

The square of x is less than or approximately equal to the cube of x for large values of x.

x^2 \precsim x^3
