I am using \stackrel{<}{\sim}
to stack up two symbols. However I need to lower \sim
, which naturally goes above the line, otherwise <
raises too. This is the output at the moment:
Any idea?

The
amssymb
package offers you\lesssim
, and, as egreg comments, thewasysym
package offers\apprle
, which raises the tilde a little bit. Here they are, side by side:The
MnSymbol
package also implements a\lesssim
, which is a more compact variation of itsamssymb
homonymous (caution: loadingamssymb
andMnSymbol
simultaneously will result in name clash).
