  • I definitely prefer \inv{x} rather than x\inv because (1) it's more readable and (2) you keep the absolute power of the output with \inv{x} and you can change definition with comlete flexibilty. Commented Mar 24, 2016 at 21:21
  • Thanks for feedback. Well, consider e.g. (A + UCV)^{-1} = A^{-1} - A^{-1}U(C^{-1}+VA^{-1}U)^{-1}VA^{-1} vs. (A + UCV)\inv = A\inv - A\inv U(C\inv+VA\inv U)\inv VA\inv vs. \inv{(A + UCV)} = \inv{A} - \inv{A}U\inv{(\inv{C}+V\inv{A}U)}V\inv{A}. I find the first two more natural but of course, that's a question of taste. If you don't mind my asking, how is the version with argument more flexible? The one without argument would be able to accommodate all the variants listed here (I think). Commented Mar 25, 2016 at 9:22
