A calligraphic “L”?, a certain symbol used in Abramowitz and Stegun












8














I am trying to produce a type of "Calligraphic L" using LaTeX. Please see the image below. The wobbles are down to me, possibly too much sugar over the Christmas holiday period.



enter image description here



This type of "L" is used in Abramowitz and Stegun , see the reference , in particular in result 9.6.26 which gives recurrence relations for modified Bessel functions.



So, how might I produce this type of "L" using LaTeX?



Other Info.



I have searched using Google, with the search string "latex fancy L" and also used "Detexify" on a mobile phone but did not find anything useful. I also considered other "Math Alphabets" the packages "eufrac" and "rsfso" do not appear to give the type of "L" I am looking for. I have also searched on StackExchange using a mobile phone.



The "L" I want is like that in the package "calrsfs", like the symbol given by the command mathcal{L} but with an extra loop at the top left of the symbol and a little crossing line part way up the main stem of the symbol.



Reference
Handbook Of Mathematical Functions, ninth Dover printing, Ed M. Abramowitz and I.A. Stegun, Dover Publications, Inc., New York.



Response to duplicate issue.



My question is about a particular symbol, one that appears in an equation in Abramowitz and Stegun. This symbol is not a symbol normally used to represent the Lagrangian or a Laplace transform. In fact it is not even an "L".

This letter is not an L but a Z. According to Detexify, you can typeset it using



usepackage{mathrsfs}

mathscr{Z}

                                CARDNET は日本カードネットワークが運営するクレジット決済ネットワーク。日本カードネットワークの略称としてもCARDNETが使用されている。 事件・事故 2017年4月15日午前11時8分からクレジットカードの決済がしづらくなる障害が発生した。障害は同日午後5時18分に復旧した。原因は、複数あるCARDNETセンターの拠点のうち1つで、2重化してあるL3スイッチの片方が故障し、1系統にトラフィックが集中したことによる輻輳が発生したため。対処としては、故障したL3スイッチ交換とシステム再起動が行われた [1] 。 出典 ^ 金子寛人 ( 2017年4月17日 ). “CARDNETのクレジット決済に6時間強障害、原因はL3スイッチ故障”. 日経コンピュータ. 2018年10月18日 閲覧。 この項目は、コンピュータに関連した 書きかけの項目 です。この項目を加筆・訂正などしてくださる協力者を求めています（PJ:コンピュータ/P:コンピュータ）。 この項目は、経済に関連した 書きかけの項目 です。この項目を加筆・訂正などしてくださる協力者を求めています（ポータル 経済学、プロジェクト 経済）。 This page is only for reference, If you need detailed information, please check here

                                Boot-repair Failure: Unable to locate package grub-common:i386

                                0 I am on a system dual-booting Windows and Debian (usually using the latter), and a recent Windows update appears to have wreaked havoc on the Debian boot system. I managed to boot Windows again, but not Linux. Following online suggestions, I created a Live USB of Ubuntu, and booted from that. Then I have installed and run the boot-repair utility. The utility instructs me to type several lines including sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sda6" apt-get purge -y grub*-common grub-common:i386 To which I receive the error E: Unable to locate package grub-common:i386 I am given to understand the issue may have to do with having UEFI vs BIOS (I believe I have UEFI), but do not understand this well. In any case I have subsequently run the boot-repair BootInfo Summary utility which created the following file h...
