You want to use \bigoplus
instead of \oplus
.
I've never seen concatenation done that way. Addition and XOR are commutative operations so it makes sense to sum over a set (or take the exclusive OR of a set). Concatenation is not like that. I think I would explicitly write out the concatenation. That said, you can use \bigparallel
from the stmaryrd
package.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{stmaryrd}
\newcommand*\concat{\mathbin{\|}}
\begin{document}
\[x_1\concat x_2\concat\dotsb\concat x_n\]
\[\bigparallel_{i=1}^n x_i\]
\end{document}
You could create your own symbol using ooalign
as demonstrated in
- What is the command for a sum symbol superimposed on an integral sign?
- \subseteq + \circ as a single symbol ("open subset") which contains a great tutorial on
ooalign
The subtle thing in the code below is that I've used a \phantom{sum}
in the displaystyle
version to make sure that limits of the sum
are displayed correctly. Without it, you loose the correct display of the upper limit.
If the circles aren't exactly where you want them, you can move them around by playing with the numbers in the code.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{graphicx}
% a new command to draw the little circle
\newcommand{\smallcirc}[1]{\scalebox{#1}{$\circ$}}
\DeclareMathOperator*{\SumCircles}{%
\mathchoice%
{\ooalign{\phantom{$\displaystyle\sum$}\cr\hidewidth\raisebox{1.2\height}{$\mkern22mu\smallcirc{0.7}$}\hidewidth\cr%
\raisebox{-0.7\height}{$\mkern22mu\smallcirc{0.7}$}\cr
\hidewidth$\displaystyle\sum$}}
{\ooalign{$\textstyle\sum$\cr%
\hidewidth\raisebox{1.9\height}{$\mkern16mu\smallcirc{0.4}$}\hidewidth\cr
\hidewidth\raisebox{-.3\height}{$\mkern16mu\smallcirc{0.4}$}\hidewidth\cr}}
{\ooalign{\raisebox{0\height}{\scalebox{.6}{$\scriptstyle\sum$}}\cr%
\hidewidth\raisebox{1.6\height}{$\mkern7.5mu\smallcirc{0.2}$}\hidewidth\cr
\hidewidth\raisebox{-0.2\height}{$\mkern7.5mu\smallcirc{0.2}$}\hidewidth\cr}}
{\ooalign{\raisebox{.2\height}{\scalebox{.6}{$\scriptstyle\sum$}}\cr%
\hidewidth\raisebox{2.2\height}{$\mkern7.5mu\smallcirc{0.2}$}\hidewidth\cr
\hidewidth\raisebox{0.4\height}{$\mkern7.5mu\smallcirc{0.2}$}\hidewidth\cr}}
}
\begin{document}
$\SumCircles_{\SumCircles} \displaystyle\SumCircles$
\[
\SumCircles_{n=1}^\infty
\sum_{n=1}^\infty
\]
\end{document}
