Equality

$$A \neq B$$
A is not equal to B

Subset

$$A \not\subseteq B$$
A is not a subset of or equal to B

Superset

$$A \not\supseteq B$$

Intersection

$$A \cap B =$$
{ }

Union

$$A \cup B =$$
{ avoidant, collaborative, competitive, dependent, forming, independent, norming, participative, performing, storming }
