Some context: In denoting a perturbation of a matrix, $A+Delta A$ (in $$ or []), I do not like how large the Δ is. Makes $Delta A$ look like "Δ times $A$" rather than a descriptive prefix showing that ΔA is an irreducible entity.



Towards that end, I have tried to use mathsmaller from relsize to fix the problem.



[ Delta A qquadtextversusqquad mathsmallermathsmallerDeltaA]


with output:





This gives the size I'd like, but the small Δ is flush to the bottom of A. I would like for it to be flush with the vertical center of A, like this:





Any tips? Thanks in advance.

Notation such as “ΔA” or “Δx” has been used for a few centuries with no problem of interpretation (perhaps by newbie students, not by professional mathematicians).



If you want to be original ;-), you can do it like

This works in first level subscripts or superscripts, but not second level.

Something of this type? I hope to have understood your request.

If you want to change the Delta symbol with a triangle symbol similar to Delta, my suggestion is to use MnSymbol package that you can find in the pag. 68, Table 134: MnSymbol Triangle Relations into the guide of "The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List"
