The following MCE points out that DeclareMathOperator, if its second argument (name text) contains periods, adds spaces after those periods:

DeclareMathOperatorlimonel.i.m.

 A_t & =limone A_n,t \
 A_t & =limtwo A_n,t \
 A_t & =textl.i.m. A_n,t
endalign*
enddocument


enter image description here



Do you know why and how to get rid of these spaces?

  • DeclareMathOperatorlimonel.i.m. Note that while the l.i.m. will still line up with your text case, there will be a gap following the last ., because l.i.m. is now an operator, whereas textl.i.m. is a math atom.

  • Using . ? Untested, it just makes the dot an ord. Which math operator is that? Never seen one with punctuation in it before

  • @daleif . works nicely indeed. Concerning the operator, some authors use it for denoting the convergence in the mean square sense. I agree it is quite strange :)

One-line joke

A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
