  Complement (set theory) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In set theory and other branches of mathematics, two kinds of complements are defined, the relative complement and the absolute complement.
If A and B are sets, then the relative complement of A in B, also known as the set-theoretic difference of B and A, is the set of elements in B, but not in A.
The relative complement of A in B is usually written B − A (also B \ A).

 Set - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The relative complement of A in B (also called the set theoretic difference of B and A), denoted by B − A, (or B \ A) is the set of all elements which are members of B, but not members of A.
In such cases, U − A, is called the absolute complement or simply complement of A, and is denoted by A′.

 What is a complement clause?
The term complement clause is extended by some analysts to include clauses selected by nouns or adjectives.
(a relative clause that modifies a noun and is not itself an argument of a predicate)
Adverbial clauses may modify any verb phrase or sentence, provided they fit semantically, and fill the same role that a purpose, manner, locative or temporal adverb would fill; whereas complement clauses are specifically selected as complements (arguments) by verbs, adjectives or nouns.

In mathematics, a relatively complemented lattice is a lattice L in which for all a, b,c in L with a ≤ b ≤ c there is some x inL such that x ∨ b = c andx ∧ b = a.
An element x with this property is acomplement of b relative to the interval [a,c].
If the lattice is a Boolean algebra, then the complement ofb relative to the interval [a, c] is a ∨ (~ b) ∧ c.

In view of their relationship with modifying relative clauses, change in the position of adjectives and genitives would be expected with that of relative clauses.
After the arrangement of relative clauses was modified, the change in position of attributive adjectives and genitives is readily understandable, inasmuch as these constructions are reduced forms of relative clauses.

The aspect marker of the verb is placed after the P argument, or as close as possible to the P. This word order is preserved in complement, relative, and coordinating clauses.
After the aspect marker, a complementizer with the case marking of the reference pronoun is placed, and the rest of the complement clause occurs after that complementizer.
Relative clauses are nearly identical to finite complement clauses, except the complementizer and complement phrase are placed directly after the corresponding A or P argument, before the aspect marker.
