The command Complement(cs, R) returns the complement of the constructible set cs in the affine space associated with R. If K is the algebraic closure of the coefficient field of R and n is the number of variables in R, then this affine space is .  The polynomial ring may have characteristic zero or a prime characteristic.

The command Complement(lrsas, R) returns the complement of the semi-algebraic set represented by lrsas (see RealTriangularize for this representation). The polynomial ring must have characteristic zero. The empty semi-algebraic set is encoded by the empty list.

The empty constructible set represents the empty set of .

This command is available once RegularChains[ConstructibleSetTools] submodule or RegularChains[SemiAlgebraicSetTools] submodule have been loaded. It can always be accessed through one of the following long forms: RegularChains[ConstructibleSetTools][Complement] or RegularChains[SemiAlgebraicSetTools][Complement].

The RegularChains[SemiAlgebraicSetTools][Complement] command was introduced in Maple 16.

The lrsas parameter was introduced in Maple 16.
