Is there any standard notational convention for an asymptotic binary relation $R$ between two functions $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ where $f(x)=_{R}g(x)$ if and only if $\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}\left|f(x)-g(x)\right|=0$? I have to use such a relation often, and the ordinary asymptotic equivalence relation $f(x)\sim g(x)$ is not sufficient for my proof.

The expression
$$ f(x) = g(x) + o(1) $$
is equivalent to
$$ \lim |f(x) - g(x)| = 0, $$
and of course the limit needs to be supplied in both cases (e.g. $x \to 0$, or $x \to \infty$, etc.).
