How to type Limsup

Write \limsup inside math mode, that is between $…$ for inline math or in a \[ … \] or equation block for display math. It is part of core LaTeX math, so no extra package is required.

In display math \limsup takes its full size; inline it shrinks to fit the line, and \displaystyle forces the large form.

Example
$\limsup f(x)$lim sup⁡f(x)\limsup f(x)limsupf(x)
