└ ┘

The symbols └ and ┘ are used as delimiters in mathematical expressions to denote a specific type of enclosure, often for grouping terms or indicating a floor function in some contexts. They are less common than standard parentheses or brackets but can be used for stylistic or specific mathematical purposes.

Examples

Floor function, rounding down to the nearest integer

\left\lfloor x \right\rfloor

Inner product or angle brackets, often used in vector notation

\left\langle a, b \right\rangle

Set notation, defining a set of real numbers greater than zero

\left\{ x \in \mathbb{R} \mid x > 0 \right\}
