Topic: Liminf/Limsup naming
Anatole Dedecker (Jun 26 2023 at 09:25):
I think the current naming of docs#Filter.limsInf and docs#Filter.liminf is really weird (if you can't see why, I'm talking about the additional s
before Inf
). I guess this is to have some sort of consistency with sInf
, but it's really weird since s
refers to Set
and we are talking about a filter. An argument could be made about using fInf
since the liminf is the natural extension of sInf
to filters (in the sense that the liminf of a principal filter is just the infimum of the set EDIT: you need the set to be nonempty...), but I'd say the easiest way to solve it would be to keep limInf
and liminf
. Any thoughts on that?

Have you thought about iLiminf
/sLiminf
?
Anatole Dedecker (Jun 26 2023 at 12:27):
That would work, but that s
still looks a bit off imo...

Another way is to get rid of limsInf
and use liminf id
when needed.
