NonPositiveRationals

NonPositiveRationals

represents the domain of non-positive rational numbers, as in x∈NonPositiveRationals.

Details

  • x∈NonPositiveRationals evaluates immediately if x is a numeric quantity.
  • Simplify[expr∈NonPositiveRationals,assum] can be used to try to determine whether an expression corresponds to a non-positive rational number under the given assumptions.
  • (x1|x2|…)∈NonPositiveRationals and {x1,x2,…}∈NonPositiveRationals test whether all xi are non-positive rational numbers.
  • The domain of non-positive integers is taken to be a subset of the domain of non-positive rationals.
  • NonPositiveRationals is output in StandardForm or TraditionalForm as TemplateBox[{}, NonPositiveRationals]. This typeset form can be input using nprats.
