1.4: The Floor and Ceiling of a Real Number - Mathematics LibreTexts
August 17, 2021 - From now on we mostly concentrate on the floor \(\lfloor x \rfloor\). For a more detailed treatment of both the floor and ceiling see the book Concrete Mathematics [5]. According to the definition of \(\lfloor x \rfloor\) we have \[\label{eq:1}\lfloor x\rfloor =\max\{n\in\mathbb{Z}\mid n\leq\}\] Note also that if \(n\) is an integer we have: \[\label{eq:2}n=\lfloor x\rfloor \Longleftrightarrow n\leq x<n+1.\] From this it is clear that \[{\mbox{$ \lfloor x \rfloor $}} \le x \mbox{ holds for all $x$},\nonumber\] and \[{\mbox{$ \lfloor x \rfloor $}} = x \Longleftrightarrow x \in \mathbb{Z}.\nonumber\] We need the following lemma to prove our next theorem.

The command \ceil will do; if called as \ceil*{x} it will add \left and \right; you can also call it as
\ceil[\big]{x} \ceil[\Big]{x} \ceil[\bigg]{x} \ceil[\Bigg]{x}
to state explicitly the size of the delimiters.

Here is a simple xparse implementation of \ceil, similar to that provided by mathtools' \DeclarePairedDelimiter:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xparse}% http://ctan.org/pkg/xparse
\NewDocumentCommand{\ceil}{s O{} m}{%
\IfBooleanTF{#1} % starred
{\left\lceil#3\right\rceil} % \ceil*[..]{..}
{#2\lceil#3#2\rceil} % \ceil[..]{..}
}
\begin{document}
\[\ceil[\big]{x} \quad \ceil[\Big]{x} \quad \ceil[\bigg]{x} \quad \ceil[\Bigg]{x} \quad \ceil*[\big]{\frac{1}{2}}\]
\end{document}
The optional argument is ignored in the starred version of \ceil*[..]{..}.
