Draw curly brace inline with equation

Post by amo1982 »

Hello experts,

I need your help to write the following equation, as I cannot make the curly brace inline with the text and don't know how to make the subscript in the middle of the brace.

Draw curly brace inline with equation

Post by Stefan Kottwitz »

Hi,

an example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\[
2\uparrow\uparrow k\stackrel{\text{def}}{=}2^{2^{2^2}}
  \raisebox{.5\baselineskip}{\scriptsize$\bigg\}k$}
\]
\end{document}
