In set theory, a complement of a set ''A'' refers to things not in (that is, things outside of) ''A''. The relative complement of ''A'' with respect to a set ''B'' is the set of elements in ''B'' but not in ''A''. When all sets under consideration are considered to be subsets of a given set ''U'', the absolute complement of ''A'' is the set of all elements in ''U'' but not in ''A''. == Relative complement == If ''A'' and ''B'' are sets, then the relative complement of ''A'' in ''B'',〔Halmos (1960) p.17〕 also termed the set-theoretic difference of ''B'' and ''A'',〔Devlin (1979) p.6〕 is the set of elements in ''B'', but not in ''A''. The relative complement of ''A'' in ''B'' is denoted according to the ISO 31-11 standard (sometimes written , but this notation is ambiguous, as in some contexts it can be interpreted as the set of all , where ''b'' is taken from ''B'' and ''a'' from ''A'').

The following lists some notable properties of relative complements in relation to the set-theoretic operations of union and intersection.
