Definition df-ceil 9931

Description: The ceiling (least integer greater than or equal to) function. Defined in ISO 80000-2:2009(E) operation 2-9.18 and the "NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions" , front introduction, "Common Notations and Definitions" section at http://dlmf.nist.gov/front/introduction#Sx4. See ceilqval 9966 for its value, ceilqge 9970 and ceilqm1lt 9972 for its basic properties, and ceilqcl 9968 for its closure. For example, (⌈ ` ( 3 / 2 ) ) = 2 while (⌈ ` -u ( 3 / 2 ) ) = -u 1 (ex-ceil 12622).

As described in df-fl 9930 most theorems are only for rationals, not reals.

The symbol ⌈ is inspired by the gamma shaped left bracket of the usual notation. (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 19-May-2015.)
