SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on labeling the double arrow symbol $\rightleftharpoons$ in LaTeX, specifically how to apply labels to both sides of the arrow. Users suggest using the command $\underset{y}{\overset{x}{\rightleftharpoons}}$ for this purpose. Additionally, the alternative $\mathop{\rightleftharpoons}\limits^x_y$ is mentioned as a viable option. Both methods effectively allow for the labeling of the double arrow in mathematical expressions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LaTeX typesetting
  • Understanding of mathematical symbols in LaTeX
  • Knowledge of the commands $\overset{}$ and $\underset{}$
  • Basic experience with mathematical notation
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced LaTeX commands for custom symbols
  • Learn about the use of $\mathop{}$ in LaTeX for operator definitions
  • Investigate other mathematical labeling techniques in LaTeX
  • Practice creating complex mathematical expressions in LaTeX
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, LaTeX users, educators, and students looking to enhance their typesetting skills for mathematical documents.

So I am trying to use $ \rightleftharpoons $ but I want to label both pieces like $\xleftarrow[y]{x}$.

How can I do this?

Maybe $\underset{y}{\overset{x}{\rightleftharpoons}}$ ?

\underset{y}{\overset{x}{\longleftrightarrow}} gives $\underset{y}{\overset{x}{\longleftrightarrow}}$
 
Also $\mathop{\rightleftharpoons}\limits^x_y$.
