Hello How to construct this vector? b ∈[−3e10, −10e10]∪[10e10,30e10]

Concatenate in what way? Have a 4 element output? A 2 element output spanning both? Or what? What would be the desired output for your example?

Not certain what you want, but MATLAB has a union operator. Note that it sorts the output:
B = union([-3e10, -10e10],[10e10,30e10])
produces:
B =
-100.0000e+009 -30.0000e+009 100.0000e+009 300.0000e+009
EDIT — With your new vectors, use union but with a slightly different syntax:
B = union(-30e10 : 1e10 : -10e10, 10e10 : 1e10 : 30e10);
I believe there is an error in your code. The first element of the first vector should be -30e10, otherwise the first element is greater than the last element, and the colon (:) operator will evaluate it as empty. (I corrected it in my edited code.)

You cannot go from -3 to -10 in steps of +1. Did you mean
v = [-3e10 : -1e10 : -10e10, 10e10 : 1e10 : 30e10]
If so, that's a perfectly fine way of constructing that vector.
If there is some overlap in the ranges, then perhaps you might want to run it through unique():
v = unique([-3e10 : -1e10 : -10e10, -10e10 : 1e10 : 30e10])
