I am trying to put the following into LaTeX, using math mode.

  $ \urcorner \box (Alarm = On \wedge DoorControls = Enabled) $

This is an LTL statement, when I inserted the above everything is printed except for the \box. I also get the following error message. 

Missing $ inserted
Leading text: $ \urcorner
Missing number, treated as zero
Leading text: $ \urcorner \box (

Can somebody please help me with this.

Thanks

  • \box is a primitive command, with a very different purpose; perhaps you are meaning $\urcorner\mbox{(Alarm...)}$

  • This line doesn't seem to work either, as it doesn't show any of the symbols.

  • What symbols do you need? Please add a description of the intended result.

Try:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\begin{document}
$ \lnot \square \mbox{Alarm} = \mbox{On} \wedge \mbox{DoorControls} = \mbox{Enabled}$
\end{document}

  • This doesn't show the box. I was already using the ams package.

    @mitchnufc The symbol for the logical not is rather \lnot than \urcorner. The meaning of \box is not clear to me. The parentheses are missing.
