The ≄ symbol, formally known as 'Not Asymptotically Equal To,' is a specialized mathematical operator used to show that two expressions do not approach the same limit. Featuring a distinct slash through an asymptotically equal sign (≃), it frequently appears in advanced calculus and asymptotic analysis. While rarely used in everyday typing, it remains an essential tool in computer science and mathematical proofs for comparing algorithmic growth rates.

In Programming

In mathematical typesetting environments like LaTeX, this symbol is commonly generated using the command \not\simeq. Programmers and mathematicians use it in algorithm analysis to explicitly state that two functions do not scale at the same rate.
