Typesetting double brackets and double parentheses

Question

I need the LaTeX equation with double square bracket and double paranthesis. Can anyone suggest me the proper code? Here, I had attached the screenshots. enter image description here

The stmaryrd package has \llbracket and \rrbracket which would cover your first example. See http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf — Steven B. Segletes, Jul 31 '13 at 22:38
@C.F.G -- The double parentheses shown in that link don't scale. — barbara beeton, Jun 02 '21 at 13:21

In favour of Consistent typography, I always suggest creating a command that generates a certain output:

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\newcommand{\llrrbracket}[1]{% \llrrbracket{..}
  \left[\mkern-3mu\left[#1\right]\mkern-3mu\right]}
\newcommand{\llrrparen}[1]{% \llrrparen{..}
  \left(\mkern-6mu\left(#1\right)\mkern-6mu\right)}
\begin{document}
\[
  \llrrbracket{\frac{1}{x}} \quad \mbox{in the case }
  P_\infty = F_p\llrrparen{\frac{1}{x}}
\]
\end{document}

You can, of course, play around with the choice of \mkern, which brings the two elements together.

This is a nice way to do it! – Svend Tveskæg Aug 01 '13 at 00:23 — Svend Tveskæg, Aug 01 '13 at 00:23

You can try the following:

    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage{amsmath}
    \usepackage{amsfonts}
    \usepackage{stmaryrd}
    \begin{document}
    \begin{equation}
    \bigg\llbracket \frac{1}{x}\bigg\rrbracket  \text{ in the case } P_\infty = \mathbb{F}_p \left(\left(\frac{1}{x} \right)\right)
\end{equation}
    \end{document}

enter image description here

EDIT:

I have updated the code to contain the suggestion given in the comment. The above code uses the stmaryrd package.
