Lsh
Represents a leftward shift operation commonly used in mathematical logic, computing contexts, and formal specifications.
Overview
Serves as a specialized operator in formal mathematics and computer science, particularly valuable for expressing transformations and operations that move or modify elements toward the left.
- Essential in bitwise operations and digital logic specifications
- Used in formal proofs and mathematical reasoning to denote leftward transformations
- Appears in algorithmic notation and program semantics
- Helpful in expressing state transitions and rotational operations in discrete mathematics
Examples
Bitwise left shift operation in computational notation
x \Lsh k \text{ shifts bits of } x \text{ left by } k \text{ positions}Formal specification of a state transition system
S_1 \Lsh S_2 \implies P(S_2)Binary operation showing multiple left shifts
1010_2 \Lsh 2 = 101000_2
