    Function Notation
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on representing function names in a notation sequence involving arrows. The user seeks to replace the standard arrow notation with function names, specifically using LaTeX commands. The suggested methods include using \stackrel{}{} and \overset{}{} to annotate the arrows with function names, resulting in expressions like A \stackrel{\phi}{\rightarrow} B \stackrel{\psi}{\rightarrow} C and A \overset{\phi}{\rightarrow} B \overset{\psi}{\rightarrow} C. Participants confirm that both methods are valid for this purpose, although there is some uncertainty about the differences between the two commands. The conversation concludes positively, with appreciation for the provided solutions.

I have something like


A \rightarrow B \rightarrow C


I'd like to put function name's about the \rightarrow's, to replace the notation


\phi : A \rightarrow B, \psi : B \rightarrow C.


Is this possible? Thanks!

You can use \stackrel{}{}.

A \stackrel{\phi}{\rightarrow} B \stackrel{\psi}{\rightarrow} C

gives

A \stackrel{\phi}{\rightarrow} B \stackrel{\psi}{\rightarrow} C

I think you can also use \overset{}{}

A \overset{\phi}{\rightarrow} B \overset{\psi}{\rightarrow} C

Not sure what the difference is.
 
Excellent. Thank you!
