Is there a questionned ordering symbol like the questionned equality?

61 Views Asked by At

To question the equality between $a$ and $b$ we can use $a \overset{?}{=} b$

From what I understand, the $\overset{?}{=}$ sign is to be replaced either by $=$ or $\not=$ and the writer will guide me through the process of determining wich one is true.

Is there such a symbol for determining the ordering of $a$ and $b$, one that would account for $\overset{?}{<}$, $\overset{?}{>}$, $\overset{?}{=}$ ?

I use $\gtrless$ or $\lessgtr$,and avoid at all cost $\lesseqgtr$, $\gtreqless$.

I don't remember seeing any of those in any standard text though.
