            If you use the function lev a lot then it is a good idea to define it as follows



            newcommandlev[2]mathrmlev_a, thinspace b (#1, thinspace #2)



            Just type lev and you will get the function with two arguments to enter.

                It seems to me that you are writing a document which uses lev() function quite often. In this case, you should define a new macro to avoid repetition (I use DeclareMathOperator, which is the best way for this, thanks to egreg's suggestion in his comment).

                      If you use the function lev a lot then it is a good idea to define it as follows



                      newcommandlev[2]mathrmlev_a, thinspace b (#1, thinspace #2)



                      Just type lev and you will get the function with two arguments to enter.
