Latex Command for symbol of assembly of matrices

[Dhruba]

Dear all,

I was wondering if you can help me with the syntax for assembly of
element matrices in Finite Element Method. It sort of looks like "A"
with lower and upper limits.

Hoping to hear from you soon.

With warm regards,
Dhruba

Did you put a look on "The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List"
<http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf>
by Scott Pakin? The answer may/should be inside.

Dear Mr. Cotomale,

Thanks for your reply. I did skim through the symbol list. Some of the symbols looked similar to the one I remembered e.g. \Wedge. However, I am not certain if those are proper syntax for a technical report. 

It will be really helpful if someone in this group has already come across this symbol. 

With warm regards,

Dhruba

OK, you were not looking for the way to represent a symbol (that was
my first thoughts and i answered according to that) ; you are asking
what is the right symbol to use ;)

Outside this group:
when you google for "syntax for assembly of element matrices in Finite
Element Method" you find many documents (mostly target to Matlab) that
use a simple "A"...
When googling for "wedge as symbol of element matrices" the results
are clear : the first is an operator not to be confused with a name
symbol (that's obviously a simple capital A --a bit styled sometimes)

I think the best is to ask your teacher/mentor to show you the right
symbol (he/she may draw/write it for you or show an computer image to
you or directly from an authoritative book). So you know what symbol
your are looking for :)
Finally, you may put a (La)TeX example with different symbols (either
produce a PS or a PDF or print it) in order to know him/her and others
have a look and tell you which one suits better...

Hope that helps.

Dear Mr. Cotomamle,

Many thanks for your detailed reply. It surely helped.

Edit: the "relsize" package must be used to declare the operator \A as above.

\usepackage{relsize}

Just paste this line into the preamble (before \begin{document}):

\DeclareMathOperator*{\A}{ \mathlarger{\mathlarger{\mathlarger{\boldsymbol{\mathsf{A}}}}} }

Somebody let me know if there's a more elegant solution.

It works though seems a little bit awkward~
