Fungrim entry: 26ea9f

Symbol: Limit limxaf ⁣(x)\lim_{x \to a} f\!\left(x\right) Limiting value
Limit(f(x), x, a, P(x)) rendered as limxa,P(x)f ⁣(x)\lim_{x \to a, P\left(x\right)} f\!\left(x\right) represents the limiting value of f ⁣(x)f\!\left(x\right) for every sequence of xx satisfying P ⁣(x)P\!\left(x\right) and approaching the limit point aa.
If the predicate P ⁣(x)P\!\left(x\right) is omitted, the expression renders correctly to LaTeX, but this form should be avoided since it is ambiguous whether it denotes a sequence limit, real limit or complex limit (or some other kind of limit). It is better to use SequenceLimit, RealLimit, LeftLimit, RightLimit or ComplexLimit.
The limit is always a deleted limit. That is, the value of f ⁣(a)f\!\left(a\right) does not need to be equal to the limit and does not even need to be defined.
The expression f(x) is not required to be defined for all xx satisfying P ⁣(x)P\!\left(x\right). It only needs to be defined for all xx in some neighborhood of the limit point and also satisfying P ⁣(x)P\!\left(x\right).
