Definition:Big-O Notation/Real/Infinity

Definition
Let $f$ and $g$ be real-valued or complex-valued functions defined on a neighborhood of $+\infty$.

The statement:
 * $f \left({x}\right) = \mathcal O \left({g \left({x}\right)}\right)$ as $x \to \infty$

is equivalent to:
 * $\exists c \in \R: c \ge 0: \exists x_0 \in \R : \left\vert{f \left({x}\right)}\right\vert \le c \cdot \left\vert{g \left({x}\right)}\right\vert$ for all $x \ge x_0$

That is:
 * $\left\vert{f \left({x}\right)}\right\vert \le c \cdot \left\vert{g \left({x}\right)}\right\vert$

for $x$ sufficiently large.

This statement is voiced $f$ is big-O of $g$ or simply $f$ is big-O $g$.
