Symbol for close to but below Let’s say x=0.97 and I want to symbolically emphasize that X is below but close to 1. Is there a symbol that I can use which denotes that situation? Thanks.
$\lesssim$ (MathJax/LaTeX: \lesssim) is sometimes seen meaning that.
In the case of limits I have seen $lim_{x\to1^-}$, meaning that $x$ is approaching $1$ from below.
