asserts that any expression matching the pattern patt is not an element of the domain dom.
  • can be entered as Esc !el Esc dom or .
Test whether is not an element of the integers:
Express that is not real:
Enter using Esc !elem Esc:

For a single variable, the negation of NotElement is automatically converted to Element:
For multiple variables the negation of NotElement is not automatically simplified:
Use LogicalExpand to find the representation in terms of Element:
