Instructions for using PublMathDeb document class (required after acception)

System requirements
For using the PublMathDeb document class of Publicationes Mathematicae Debrecen for typesetting manuscripts Authors need

• an arbitrary TeX distribution has to be installed on their computers including
  • LaTeX 2e and
  • amsmath package
• the publmathdeb.cls file in the current or in a standard TeX input directory

Downloads
Authors can download the publmathdeb.cls document class
Authors can use it with the standardcommands and environments of

• the standard LaTeX 2e (download) and
• the standard amsmath package

TeX distributions and macro packages can be downloaded from any of the CTAN servers, e.g.

CTAN: Comprehensive TeX Archive Network

Other macro packages/files used for typeset articles
If Authors use any other macro packages than the publmathdeb, or their own macro files they are asked

• to inform us about the web address(es) from where the files can be downloaded
or
• to enclose the files themselves in the article

when sending the source file of the manuscript to the Editor.

Documentations
Authors can use the documentations of the standard LaTeX 2e, the standard article document class and that of the amsmath package, because the PublMathDeb document class uses the samecommands and environments.

These documentations can be found in the docs directory of the TeX distributions and on any of the CTAN servers, e.g.

Authors Packages for Publishing with the AMS -- Documentation

Title section

• Title

  Between square brackets, as the first optional parameter of \titlecommand, Authors can give a short title that will be appeared in the headlines. Between braces the title of the article has to be given. For example:

  \title[On Hamilton spaces of 2-dimensional\dots ]
  {On Hamilton spaces of 2-dimensional Riemannian manifolds}

• Keywords and expressions

  Some key words and expressions have to be given for the article, e.g.

  \keywords{manifolds, Hamilton spaces, Riemannian manifolds}

• AMS Subject Classification Code(s)

  At least one AMS subject classification is needed for the article, e.g.

  \subjclass{58C35, 58A40, 57R40}

• Date of submission

  \submitted{February 26, 2003}

• Dedication

  \dedicatory{This paper is dedicated to Professor M. Nagy}

• Notation of support

  \thanks{This paper is supported by AHO}

• Abstract

  Before giving the abstract the document environment must begin:

  \begin{document}

  and the abstract follows:

  \begin{abstract}
  The aim of this sample article is to describe how to use the \textsf{PublMathDeb} document class for writing papers for Publicationes Mathematicae Debrecen.

  Authors are asked to write 4--6 lines as an abstract that will be accessible from our web pages.
  \end{abstract}

Title part After giving the previous data the

\maketitle

command writes them out on the paper.

3. Environment definitions

• Proofs

  Three environments for proofs are defined in the document class. They can be used as follows:

  \begin{proof}
  The first part of the claim follows from...
  The square proof closing symbol appears at the end of the proof.
  \end{proof}

  \begin{proof}[Proof of Lemma 4]
  The first part of the claim follows from...
  The square proof closing symbol appears at the end of the proof.
  \end{proof}

  \begin{pf}
  The first part of the claim follows from...
  The square proof closing symbol does not appear at the end of the proof.
  \end{pf}

  \begin{pf*}{Proof of Lemma 4}
  If the proof has an own name.
  The square proof closing symbol does not appear at the end of the proof.
  \end{pf*}

• Styles for numbering environments

  You can use 3 types of environment styles for defining numbering environments:

  For statements, e.g. for lemmas, theorems:
  \theoremstyle{plain}
  For definitions:
  \theoremstyle{definition}
  For remarks, examples, notes, algorithms etc.:
  \theoremstyle{remark}

• Defining new environments

  Some examples for defining environment with various types and styles:

  • Numbering environments

    \theoremstyle{plain}
    If you do not need the section number included in the item number:
    \newtheorem{prop}{Proposition}
    If the item number has to consist the section number followed by the number of the theorem:
    \newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}[section]
    If you need to get the theorems and lemmas to share the same numbering sequence:
    \newtheorem{lem}[thm]{Lemma}
    If you want the item numbers to be counted separately:
    \newtheorem{state}{State}[section]
    

    \theoremstyle{definition}
    \newtheorem{definition}{Definition}[section]
    \theoremstyle{remark}
    \newtheorem{remark}{Remark}[section]
    \newtheorem{example}{Example}

  • Unnumbered environments

    As the above with just one difference:
    If you put a star (*) after the \newtheoremcommand, the environment will be unnumbered, e.g.

    \theoremstyle{remark}
    \newtheorem*{note}{Note}

    \theoremstyle{plain}
    \newtheorem*{hth}{Henk's Theorem}

4. Document body

In the body of the article thecommands and environments can be used in a general way. Here is a sample page for showing the text formattingcommands and environments.

\section{Introduction}

The \textsf{publmathdeb.cls} is a modified version of the \textsf{article.cls}, i.e., you can use the same commands and environments defined in the \textsf{article.cls}. If you load the file of the \textsf{amsmath} package you can use the standardcommands and environment of the \textsf{amsmath} package.

\subsection{Theorems, lemmas, and other types of propositions}

In this subsection the use of the environments of various types of propositions, and the proofs is presented.

\begin{thm}[see e.g.\ \cite{Kim}]
Environments for formatting emphasized parts of the document if and only if they are defined by the appropriate command.
\end{thm}

\begin{lem}
\TeX\ contains a number ofcommands for writing mathematical formulae.
\end{lem}

\begin{hth}
\TeX\ contains a number ofcommands for writing mathematical formulae.
\end{hth}

\subsection{Proofs}

\begin{pf}
The square proof closing symbol appears at the end of the proof.
\end{pf}

\begin{pf*}{Proof of Lemma 4}
The square proof closing symbol appears at the end of the proof.
\end{pf*}

\begin{proof}
The square proof closing symbol does not appear at the end of the proof.
\end{proof}

\subsection{Definitions, remarks, examples etc.}

\begin{definition}
Let $x \in \mathbb{N}$. We denote \dots
\end{definition}

\begin{note}
The previous definition...
\end{note}

5. In-line math formulas

Please, do not use extra space around in-line math formulas.
Correct use:

Let $x$ be a non-negative number. If $ f(x) < 0 $ then...
or
Let \( x \) be a non-negative number. If \( f(x) < 0 \) then...

6. Bibliographic referencescommands of bibliographic references

Authors can use thesecommands of PublMathDeb document class for writing bibliographic references as follows:

Numbering references

Other types of references
