The descending wedge symbol ∨ may represent:
The vertically reflected symbol, ∧, is a wedge, and often denotes related or dual operators.
The ∨ symbol was introduced by Russell and Whitehead in Principia Mathematica, where they called it the Logical Sum or Disjunctive Function. [1]
In
Unicode the symbol is encoded U+2228 ∨ LOGICAL OR (∨, ∨). In
TeX, it is \vee
or \lor
.
One motivation and the most probable explanation for the choice of the symbol ∨ is the latin word "vel" meaning "or" in the inclusive sense. Several authors use "vel" as name of the "or" function. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
