Mar 11, 2019 at 17:56 comment added Federico Poloni If you specify their dimensions as well, i.e., $y\in\mathbb{R}^m$, $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$, it is much clearer that they are definitions. It's sort of a clue (and it has the additional benefit that you are clear about their size). There are many similar clues --- italic has been already mentioned, and another is the word let.

Mar 11, 2019 at 15:02 comment added Gerhard Paseman I recommend following textbook conventions for textbooks in your field of study. There is no standard nor a universal convention for this. Gerhard "It Depends Upon The Audience" Paseman, 2019.03.11.
Mar 11, 2019 at 14:59 comment added Voyager @GerhardPaseman I want to find some public notation so that I can make myself understood. Personally I want to use in plain text digital notes and handwritten notes.
Mar 11, 2019 at 14:53 comment added Gerhard Paseman Historically, devices like using italics for such objects to contrast with Roman text, combined with the first appearance, was used. Another was placing such definitions after some highlighted keyword like "Definition". Are you looking for a typeset version, or for something to use in handwritten notes?
