Thus F is less than or equal to G. [Not: “less or equal to'']

Here F is strictly less than G.

Thus F is no less than G.

Clearly, F is less than 1 in absolute value.

Less than 1 in p of its points will result in a quartic with ideal class number p.

Much less is known about hyperbolically convex functions.

Although our proof is a little tedious, it is much less so than Ito's original proof, which was carried out without the benefit of martingale technology.

This method is recently less and less used.
