PositiveRationals

PositiveRationals

represents the domain of strictly positive rational numbers, as in x∈PositiveRationals.

Details

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