An absolute set difference operation is a Set Difference Operation that produces the set members that are in the universal set but not in the other set.
- AKA: ASDO, ACSO, Absolute Complement Set Operation.

- Example(s):
- ASDO({a,c,d}) ⇒ {b,e}; where U={a,b,c,d,e}.
- See: Relative Complement Set Operation.

- … Absolute Complement: If a universe U is defined, then the relative complement of A in U is called the absolute complement (or simply complement) of [math]\displaystyle{ A }[/math], and is denoted by AC or sometimes A′, also the same set often is denoted by CU [math]\displaystyle{ A }[/math] (or C A if U is fixed), that is:
- AC = U ∖ A.
