What does ">>" mean??? This is non-standard mathematical notation. Sugarfoot1001 05:53, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
x and y are vectors here. y >> x means every component of y is strictly larger than the corresponding component of x (you have more of each good). y > x means every component of y is at least as large as the corresponding component of x, and at least one component of y is strictly larger than the corresponding component of x. y ≥ x means every component of y is at least as large as the corresponding component of x. This notation is standard for economic applications of mathematics. Josiah Stevenson (talk) 20:18, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
