Is there a mathematical symbol for “the value grows”?

Question

Is there a mathematical symbol for "the value grows?"

For example:

This result will be increasingly difficult as the value of n grows to infinity.

What's wrong with $n \to \infty$? For that matter, what's wrong with "grows to infinity"?
Nothing wrong with the suggestion you proposed, I was just unaware of it's existance/usage.
If $(x_n)$ is a sequence, then $x_n\uparrow \infty$ means that $x_n$ tends to infinity increasingly, i.e. $x_n\leq x_{n+1}$ and $x_n\to\infty$. But there is really no need to write $n\uparrow \infty$ because $x_n=n$ is obviously increasing.

If the difficulty is $y$ $$\frac{\mathrm d y}{\mathrm dn}>0$$ As $n$ changes by a positive amount , $y$ changes by a positive amount
