\sqsubset

The symbol \sqsubset is used to denote a relation that is similar to the subset relation but is typically used in contexts where the elements are not strictly sets. It can represent a partial order or a more general relation between elements in a set or structure.

Examples

Indicates that A is related to B in a partial order or hierarchy.

A \sqsubset B

Demonstrates a property of a function preserving the relation.

x \sqsubset y \Rightarrow f(x) \sqsubset f(y)

Illustrates the transitive property of the relation.

p \sqsubset q \land q \sqsubset r \Rightarrow p \sqsubset r
