- \begin{document}
- \title [\amslatex/ ELECTRONIC MANUSCRIPTS]
- {Instructions for Preparation\\
- of Papers and Monographs: \amslatex/}
- \maketitle
- \tableofcontents
- \section{Introduction}
- These are instructions for preparing articles and books, using \latex/,
- for publication with the American Mathematical Society (AMS). They
- describe the use of \latex/ `document classes' provided by the AMS,
- which produce output that matches AMS publication style specifications.
- (Note: if you have an old version of \latex/---version 2.09 or earlier,
- or dated earlier than June 1994---some of the features described here
- won't work; upgrading to current \latex/ is recommended.)
- The AMS produces three major types of publications, journals,
- proceedings volumes, and monographs. There is a generic AMS
- documentclass for each of these publication types.
- \begin{itemize}
- \item \texttt{amsart} for journal articles
- \item \texttt{amsproc} for proceedings volumes
- \item \texttt{amsbook} for monographs
- \end{itemize}
- These documentclasses can be used for the initial stages of document
- preparation. When the AMS publication in which a document is to appear
- becomes known, a publication-specific documentclass should be
- substituted for the generic documentclass.
- For example, for a submission to the \textit{Contemporary Mathematics}
- proceedings series, update the \cn{documentclass} statement
- to read
- \begin{verbatim}
- \documentclass{conm-p-l}
- \end{verbatim}
- Each publication-specific documentclass is based on one of the three
- generic classes.
- You should read the \textit{AMS Author Handbook}. It contains guidelines for
- preparing and submitting electronic manuscripts and camera-ready submissions.
- An electronic version of the \textit{AMS Author Handbook} is included in each
- AMS author package. Printed copies are available through the AMS Customer
- Services Department free of charge.
- Each author package contains an electronic version of these
- instructions, class files, sample documents, a \filnam{READ-*.ME} file
- which contains information about each of the files in the package, and
- the \textit{AMS Author Handbook}.
- The instructions that follow address preparation for both electronic
- manuscripts and camera-ready electronic submissions (see
- \textit{AMS Author Handbook} for definitions).
- It is assumed that the reader is familiar with \AMSLaTeX\ and has access to
- the items listed in the reference section, especially the \latex/ manual
- \cite{LM} and the \AMSLaTeX\ User's Guide \cite{ALG}.
- \section{General guidelines}
- Authors should refer to the \textit{Checklist for Electronic Submissions}
- section of the \textit{ AMS Author Handbook} before preparing their electronic
- submission. The checklist contains information that is crucial to creating a
- submission that the AMS will be able to process. If a submission cannot be
- processed at the AMS, staff will notify the author that a corrected submission
- is needed. Authors of electronic manuscripts will have the option of having
- the paper rekeyboarded at the AMS if they do not wish to correct unusable
- files. Authors of camera-ready material will need to submit new DVI (and/or
- PostScript files) and \latex/ files.
- \subsection*{Starting a new \amslatex/ article}\label{newamsart}
- Individual articles are generally made up of the following:
- \begin{itemize}
- \item \verb+\documentclass+
- \item preamble (for document-specific customizations)
- \item \verb+\begin{document}+
- \item top matter information
- \item \verb+\maketitle+ (to set the top matter)
- \item article body
- \item \verb+\end{document}+
- \end{itemize}
- \section{Top matter}
- The top matter associated with a paper includes everything that would
- appear in a bibliographic reference to the paper, plus additional
- information about the author(s), subject classifications, keywords,
- and acknowledgments of support.
- \subsection*{Summary of tags and elements}
- Table 1 lists the top matter tags provided by the \cls{amsart} and
- \cls{amsproc} documentclasses for \amslatex/ version~1.2. Not every tag
- is necessary for each paper. Table 1 shows which tags are necessary and
- which are optional. Requirements for monographs are somewhat different
- and are described later. Subsequent examples will refer to either the
- \textit{Contemporary Mathematics} monograph or proceedings series
- (documentclasses \verb+conm-m+ or \verb+conm-p+). The actual
- documentclass name for your document will vary depending on which
- publication it is submitted to.
- \begin{table}[ht]

- \end{table}
- \subsection*{The preamble}
- The area between the \verb+\documentclass+ statement and the line
- \verb+\begin{document}+ is referred to as the ``preamble''. If you
- define any new commands in the paper, place the definitions in the
- preamble. Similarly, instructions to access fonts that are not already
- defined in \amslatex/, such as a new math alphabet (see \cite{ALG}),
- belong here. Placing these general instructions at the very beginning of
- a paper will make them available throughout the entire paper. In
- addition, this placement will also make it easier for the production
- staff to find and check them for compatibility when the paper is
- combined with others to produce the complete publication.
- When defining new control sequences, always use \ttcs{newcommand}; this
- will let you know if the name you have chosen has already been used. Do
- not redefine any \latex/ or \amslatex/ command, as this could cause
- problems in AMS production. New definitions may be used to provide
- shorthand forms for text or mathematical expressions that are used
- frequently. Use commands and environments provided by the AMS
- documentclasses whenever applicable---for example, you should use the
- AMS \env{proof} environment for proofs rather than define your own
- alternative.
- \subsection*{Title}
- In article or chapter titles for books, the first and last words of
- the title and all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, and verbs
- should be capitalized; articles, conjunctions, and prepositions should
- be lowercased except for the first and last words of the title. For
- journal articles, only the first word and proper nouns should be
- capitalized. This is true even if the publication in which the paper
- appears has another style; the style for the particular publication
- will be generated automatically when the paper is processed at the
- AMS. A multiline title may be left for \latex/ to break, or a
- desired break may be indicated by \ttcs{\\}.
- Unless the title is very short, provide a form of the title suitable
- for use in running heads. This should be entered in
- [brackets] between the tag \ttcs{title} and the full title.
- \subsection*{Author information}
- Enter the name(s) of the author(s) in caps and lowercase using
- the tag \ttcs{author}. Each author's name should be entered with a
- separate \cn{author} command; names will be combined by \latex/ according
- to the dictates of the documentclass, which often vary.
- If the author name(s) cannot fit in the space available for the running
- head, enter a shortened form for each name in [brackets]
- between the tag \ttcs{author} and the full name. Acceptable shortened
- forms use initials for all but the surname(s). If there are more than
- two authors, the running heads must be specified explicitly:
- \medskip
- \verb+\markboth{+$\langle$name of first author$\rangle$%
- \verb+et al.}{+$\langle$short title$\rangle$\verb+}+
- \medskip
- For each author you should provide one or more addresses. The address where
- the research was carried out should be tagged as \ttcs{address\{...\}}. The
- address should be divided by \verb+\\+ into segments that correspond to
- address lines for use on an envelope. If the current address is different from
- the research address, the current address should be given next, tagged as
- \ttcs{curraddr\{...\}}. Following these addresses, you should give an address
- for electronic mail if one exists, using \ttcs{email\{...\}}. Regular,
- current, and e-mail addresses must be grouped in that order by author.
- Note that no abbreviations are to be used in addresses except for
- abbreviations for names of states. Addresses are considered part of the top
- matter, but in AMS articles they are ordinarily printed at the end of the
- article following the bibliography. Suitable labels will indicate the current
- and e-mail addresses, typically \textit{Current address}: and \textit{E-mail
- address}:, respectively.
- \subsection*{Dedication}
- Use the tag \ttcs{dedicatory} for such things as ``Dedicated to
- Professor X on the occasion of his eightieth birthday.'' If the
- dedication is longer than one line, you may indicate a break with
- \ttcs{\\}.
- \subsection*{Acknowledgments of support and other first-page footnotes}
- \ttcs{thanks} is provided for acknowledgments of grants and other
- kinds of support for an author's research or for other general
- information not covered by one of the more specific commands such as
- \ttcs{keywords} or \ttcs{subjclass}. Like \ttcs{address},
- \ttcs{thanks} can appear more than once in the top matter. Each
- occurrence will be printed as an unnumbered footnote at the bottom of
- the first page of the article.
- \subsection*{Subject information}
- Subject classifications and key words, like acknowledgments, are part
- of the top matter and appear as footnotes at the bottom of the first
- page.
- Subject classifications may be primary (the major topic(s) of the
- paper) or secondary (subject areas covered by ancillary results,
- motivation or origin of problems discussed, intended or potential
- field of application, or other significant aspects worthy of notice).
- At least one primary subject classification is \textbf{required};
- additional primaries and secondaries are optional.
- These classifications are entered as
- \begin{verbatim}
- \subjclass{Primary |?primary classifications>;
- Secondary <secondary classifications>}
- \end{verbatim}
- To determine the classifications, use the 1991 Mathematics Subject
- Classification scheme that appears in annual indexes of \textit{Mathematical
- Reviews} beginning in 1990. (The two-digit code from the Contents
- of MR is \textbf{not} sufficient.)
- Key words are not required but may be provided by an author if desired.
- They should be tagged as \ttcs{keywords\{...\}}.
- \subsection*{Abstract}
- The abstract is input with \verb+\begin{abstract}...\end{abstract}+.
- It may comprise multiple paragraphs and include displayed material if
- appropriate. The length of the abstract depends primarily on the
- length of the paper itself and on the difficulty of summarizing the
- material; an upper limit of about 150 words for short papers and 300
- words for long papers is suggested.
- Note that when an AMS documentclass is used, the abstract should be
- placed before \cn{maketitle}, contrary to the practice shown in the
- \latex/ manual \cite{LM}. This is necessary to ensure that the
- abstract can always be printed in the right order relative to other
- elements in the beginning material of a document, and with the proper
- vertical spacing above and below. If the abstract is given after
- \cn{maketitle}, it will be printed in place, but with a warning message.
- \section{Document body}
- \subsection*{Headings}
- Four levels of headings are provided to permit logical sectioning of
- a manuscript. These headings are applicable to individual articles
- and to chapters of a monograph. (Headings specific to monographs are
- listed under \textit{Monograph formatting}.)
- \begin{verbatim}
- \specialsection{...}
- \section[...]{...}
- \subsection[...]{...}
- \subsubsection[...]{...}
- \end{verbatim}
- \ttcs{specialsection} is for long articles that need extra divisions
- (e.g., parts) at a level above the \ttcs{section} level.
- Explicit line breaks are obtained by \verb+\\+ in first-level section
- headings.
- Any heading may be given a label to allow references to be made to it,
- by including a \ttcs{label\{...\}} command with a unique identifier
- directly after the heading. References are made using the command
- \ttcs{ref\{...\}} and the same identifier. For example,
- \begin{verbatim}
- \section{Monograph formatting}
- \label{s:mono}
- \end{verbatim}
- will establish a label for this section that can be referred to with
- \ttcs{ref\{s:mono\}}. Cross references of
- this sort will require \latex/ to be run at least twice for proper
- resolution. A warning at the end of the \latex/ run, ``Cross
- references may have changed\dots''\ should be heeded in this regard.
- \subsection*{Mathematical text}
- For instructions on preparing mathematical text, refer to
- \cite{ALG} and \cite{LM}.
- Care should be taken to use math mode for \textit{all} mathematical
- expressions, no matter how short or insignificant they are. For
- example, in the phrase ``a group of class 2,'' the ``2'' should be
- treated as mathematical text and placed between dollar signs:
- \verb+$2$+. One reason for this is that numerals should always be
- roman in mathematical expressions, whereas in ordinary text
- environments \latex/ sets them in the style of the surrounding text;
- see also the \textit{Roman type} section below.
- \subsection*{Lists}
- You should follow plain \LaTeX\ conventions for producing list
- environments.
- \subsection*{Theorems, lemmas, and other proclamations}
- Theorems and similar elements are treated as environments in \LaTeX.
- Three different theorem styles are provided by AMS document classes:
- \verb+plain+, \verb+definition+, and \verb+remark+. By referring to
- these styles and using the \ttcs{newtheorem} command, you can build a
- complement of theorem environments appropriate for any paper or
- monograph. The use of these commands is described in the
- \textit{\amslatex/ User's Guide} \cite{ALG}. All \ttcs{newtheorem}
- specifications should be included in the preamble.
- The following list summarizes the types of structures which are
- normally associated with each style.
- \beginexample{\exboxwidth=1.05in}
- \exbox{}{plain} Theorem, Lemma, Corollary, Proposition, Conjecture,
- \exbox{}{} Criterion, Algorithm
- \exbox{}{definition} Definition, Condition, Problem, Example
- \exbox{}{remark} Remark, Note, Notation, Claim, Summary,\newline %
- Acknowledgment, Case, Conclusion
- \endexample
- A related environment \verb+proof+ is to be used for proofs. This will
- produce the heading ``Proof'' with appropriate spacing and punctuation.
- An optional argument in square brackets can be used to substitute
- a different heading:
- \beginexample
- \\begin\{proof\}[\<heading text>]
- \endexample
- A ``Q.E.D.'' symbol is automatically appended at the end of a proof
- (see \cite{ALG} for details).
- \subsection*{Equations}Check displayed equations carefully, making
- sure they are broken and aligned following the guidelines in
- \cite[pp. 38--41]{MIT}.
- \subsection*{Roman type}
- Numbers, punctuation, (parentheses), [brackets],
- $\lbrace$braces$\rbrace$, and symbols used as labels should always be
- set in roman type. This is true even within the statement of a theorem,
- which is set in italic type.
- Be careful to distinguish between roman elements that are mathematical
- in nature (e.g., ``a group of class 2''), and those that are part of
- the text (e.g., a label or a year). Mathematical expressions are, as
- usual, enclosed within dollar signs \verb+$...$+; roman text elements
- should be coded as \ttcs{textup\{...\}} in nonroman environments such
- as theorems.
- Abbreviated forms of mathematical terms are also usually set in roman
- type to distinguish them from mathematical variables or constants.
- Use the control sequences for common mathematical functions and
- operators like \verb+log+ and \verb+lim+ (see \cite[\S4]{ALG}).
- The style of reference citations, though publication dependent, is
- usually roman. In order to ensure consistency, always use the standard
- \latex/ \ttcs{cite} command when citing a reference.
- \subsection*{Exercises setup}Exercises are produced using the
- \verb+xca+ and \verb+xcb+ tags. \verb+xca+ is available for all
- publications and is used for examples that occur within a section.
- \verb+xcb+ is available only for monographs and is used for exercises
- that occur at the end of a chapter.
- \section{Graphics}
- Throughout this section artwork, figures, halftones, tables, etc., are
- all referenced using the general term \textit{graphics}, though in some
- cases a specific topic, such as tables, may be described separately.
- Figures and tables are usually handled as floating inserts. Such
- items are often so large that fitting them into the document at the
- point of reference may cause problems with paging. Placing such items
- into a floating insert allows them to be repositioned automatically by
- \latex/ as required for good pagination.
- A floating insert generally contains one of three possibilities:
- blank space for an external graphic to be inserted by hand after
- \latex/ has run, \latex/ code that produces an object such as a table
- or commutative diagram, or a \ttcs{special} command to incorporate an
- item produced by another application (most often an Encapsulated
- PostScript (EPS) file produced by a graphics utility) (see \textit{Embedded
- graphics}).
- \subsection*{Graphics placement}
- Graphics should
- \begin{enumerate}
- \item be numbered consistently throughout the paper,
- \item be placed at the top or bottom of the page, and
- \item have an in-text reference.
- \end{enumerate}
- A figure or table should not precede its first text reference unless
- they both appear on the same page spread, and a figure or table must
- definitely appear within the same section as its first text reference.
- When a figure or table is an integral part of text, it may appear
- unnumbered in place in the middle of text.
- Figures and tables should be allowed to float according to the \LaTeX\ defaults
- which are preset by the style file. If you are NOT preparing a camera-ready
- submission you could introduce major problems with pagination if you hard-set
- your figures and tables by using the \verb+[h]+ option. By using the author
- package class file and using no figure or table options, your figures and
- tables should always float to the top or bottom of the page automatically. If
- an insert does not fit on the page where specified, \latex/ will
- automatically shift it to the next page. For electronic manuscripts, the final
- placement of inserts will be determined by the AMS editorial staff, on the
- basis of the most appropriate page layout.
- \subsection*{Captions} Floating inserts usually have captions
- positioned above a table and below a figure. The
- following is the general structure used to specify a figure insert,
- with a caption at the bottom:
- \begin{verbatim}
- \begin{figure}
- \vspace{|Dimen}|quad|rm or |quad|tt|?optional code for the insertion body>
- \caption{|?caption text>}
- \label{|?reference label>}|quad|rm (optional)|tt
- \end{figure}
- \end{verbatim}
- The following is the general structure for a table insert, with a
- caption at the top:
- \begin{verbatim}
- \begin{table}
- \caption{|?caption text>}
- \label{|?reference label>}|quad|rm (optional)|tt
- \vspace{|Dimen}|quad|rm or |quad|tt|?optional code for the insertion body>
- \end{table}
- \end{verbatim}
- Use the \ttcs{vspace\{\Dimen\}} option to leave blank space for a
- graphic to be pasted into place. If a \Dimen{} is specified, its value
- should be the exact height of the object to be pasted in. Extra space
- around the object and the caption will depend on the document style
- and will be provided automatically.
- Caption labels will be supplied automatically, set in caps and small
- caps. The \<caption text> is any descriptive text that may be desired.
- It will be set in roman. A reference label should usually be
- associated with the caption; a reference in text to the figure or
- table would be of the form \ttcs{ref\{\<reference label>\}}.
- If you choose to include the \latex/ code for a figure,
- table, or other captioned object in the input, then omit the
- \ttcs{vspace\{\Dimen\}} line and type the code in the area indicated.
- The size will be calculated automatically and the caption set in the
- appropriate location above or below the object.
- \subsection*{Electronic graphics}Figures may be submitted to the
- AMS in an electronic format. The AMS recommends that graphics created
- electronically be saved in Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format. This
- includes graphics originated via a graphics application as well as
- scanned photographs or other computer-generated images.
- Many popular graphics applications under a Macintosh, Windows, or Unix
- environment allow files to be saved in EPS format. However, if your
- package does not support EPS output, save your graphics file in one of
- the standard graphics formats---such as TIFF, PICT, GIF, etc.---rather
- than in an application-dependent format. For example, if you are
- using SuperPaint on a Macintosh, do not send files in SuperPaint
- format. Instead, save the file in PICT format from SuperPaint and send
- the PICT files to the AMS. Graphics files submitted in an
- application-dependent format are not likely to be used. No matter
- what method was used to produce the graphic, it is necessary to
- provide a paper copy to the AMS.
- \textbf{Note:} Authors using graphics packages for the creation of
- electronic art should also avoid the use of any lines thinner than 0.5
- points in width. Many graphics packages allow the user to specify a
- ``hairline'' for a very thin line. Hairlines often look acceptable
- when proofed on a typical laser printer. However, when produced on a
- high-resolution laser imagesetter, hairlines become nearly invisible
- and will be lost entirely in the final printing process.
- Screens should be set to values between 15\% and 85\%. Screens which fall
- outside of this range are too light or too dark to print correctly.
- \subsection*{Nonelectronic graphics}
- These graphics should be drawn in black ink with clean, unbroken lines
- on nonabsorbent paper. Whenever possible, fonts used in graphics
- should match those used in the text. Authors' original graphics are
- used whenever possible in AMS publications.
- Send the originals of photographs or computer-generated images to the AMS. A
- photocopy of such an image can be used to identify it. To avoid damage to
- photographic images, do not use paper clips or staples, and do not tape them
- to a sheet of paper.
- For a color image (whether it is to be converted to a black and white image
- or is to appear in color), submit one of the following (listed in order of
- preference):
- \begin{itemize}
- \item color print,
- \item slide,
- \item color negative.
- \end{itemize}
- \subsection*{Embedded graphics}There are two ways of utilizing EPS
- graphics with a \latex/ document:
- \begin{enumerate}
- \item Calls to EPS files can be embedded within the \latex/ file and
- automatically incorporated by \latex/.
- \item Blank space of an appropriate size for each graphic can be left
- in the \latex/ document. Graphics files can then be sent to the AMS for
- high-resolution typesetting and manual positioning in the typeset
- document.
- \end{enumerate}
- In either case, submit a separate file for each graphic along with the
- \latex/ document. In cases where files cannot be saved in an EPS
- format, you may choose to leave space in the \latex/ document and
- submit the graphics files separately.
- If you choose to submit a file with embedded references to external
- EPS files, incorporate the EPS files into the \latex/ file using one of
- the following public-domain macro packages: \filnam{epsf.tex} (or
- \filnam{epsf.sty}), developed by Radical Eye Software;
- \filnam{psfig.tex}, version 1.9 or later; or \filnam{boxedeps.tex} (or
- \filnam{boxedeps.sty}). The AMS does not provide these macro files to
- authors, as they are widely available in the \tex/ community. Also,
- there are a few requirements if these macros are used:
- \begin{enumerate}
- \item DO NOT include any path names of the included PostScript files.
- For instance, do not say
- \ttcs{psfig\{file=/usr/joe/book/figures/fig1.ps\}}. Instead remove all
- explicit path references, so that the above example would become
- \ttcs{psfig\{file=fig1.ps\}}.
- \item Include printed copies of all of the PostScript files for the
- graphics with the \latex/ file.
- \item If you are submitting to a camera-ready publication and you are
- using\break
- \filnam{psfig.tex}, use the
- version which is compatible with dvips, rather than the Oz\tex/ version
- of that file. If you use \filnam{boxedeps.tex}, when you run \latex/
- to create the DVI file to send to us, you must place the command
- \ttcs{SetRokickiEPSFSpecial} immediately after the file
- \filnam{boxedeps.tex} input.
- \end{enumerate}
- \section{Bibliographic references}
- \subsection*{Using \protect\bibtex/ to prepare a bibliography}%
- An author may find it convenient to maintain a file of references in
- \bibtex/ form, as described in the \latex/ manual \cite[Appendix
- B]{LM}. Two \bibtex/ styles are provided:
- \begin{description}
- \item [\filnam{amsplain.bst}] will produce numeric labels, and
- \item [\filnam{amsalpha.bst}] will produce labels constructed
- from the author name(s) and year of publication.
- \end{description}
- Both will translate references in a \bibtex/ input (\filnam{.bib}) file
- to \latex/ input in a \filnam{.bbl} file in the form appropriate for AMS
- publications, including all necessary formatting instructions. This
- method of preparing bibliographies is therefore recommended.
- To access a \bibtex/ bibliography in a paper or monograph, include these
- instructions in the appropriate place in the input file:
- \begin{verbatim}
- \bibliographystyle{|?style>}|qquad amsplain|quad|rm or|quad|tt amsalpha
- \bibliography{|?name of bibliography |bgroup|tt.bib|egroup| file>}
- \end{verbatim}
- Running \bibtex/ on the \filnam{.bib} file will produce a \filnam{.bbl}
- file. The \filnam{.bib} file may have any name the author finds convenient;
- however, the \filnam{.bbl} file must have the same name as the source file
- for a monograph from which it is input, so it may be necessary for the
- author to rename it. For an article, after the bibliography has been
- completed (including processing by \bibtex/), the contents of the
- \filnam{.bbl} file should be inserted into the main article input file,
- replacing the \ttcs{bibliographystyle} and \ttcs{bibliography} statements.
- Items in the bibliography are usually ordered alphabetically by author.
- \bibtex/ processing may alter this order, especially if the style
- \filnam{amsalpha.bst} is used.
- All categories of bibliographic entries listed in the \latex/ manual
- \cite[\S B.2.1]{LM} are supported in the two \bibtex/ styles.
- In addition to the fields listed in \S B.2.2, a \verb+language+
- field is provided for use in identifying the original language of an
- item whose title has been translated.
- \subsection*{Preparing a bibliography without \protect\bibtex/}%
- The references section of a paper begins with the command
- \ttcsb{thebibliography}{\{\<model label>\}} and ends with
- \ttcse{thebibliography}. \ttcsb{thebibliography}{} sets the head for the
- references, switches to the correct type size and sets the indentation for the
- labels to a width appropriate for the model given in the second argument.
- Thus the widest label in the bibliography should be used as the model;
- for example, \verb+99+ will provide space for a 2-digit label.
- In a monograph, where the bibliography forms a separate chapter, the
- command \ttcsb{thebibliography}{} starts a new chapter and then does the
- other setup mentioned above for printing the references.
- For the proper order of reference elements and use of fonts and
- punctuation, look at an issue or volume in the journal or
- book series for which your document is intended and follow the examples
- you see there.
- \subsubsection*{All references}
- The beginning of each item must be indicated explicitly, with the
- command \ttcs{bibitem\{\<bibitem label>\}}. The \latex/ default is
- for references to be numbered (automatically); however, other labels
- may be used by inserting an optional key argument in square brackets
- between the command and the internal label:
- \begin{verbatim}
- \bibitem[ABC]{ABC}
- \end{verbatim}
- The item label and the key need not be identical.
- Give at least one full name; initials and last name is an acceptable
- form. If a subsequent reference is by the same author(s), use
- \ttcs{bysame} instead of the name(s).
- For examples, refer to \cite{MIT}.
- \section{Monograph formatting}
- \label{s:mono}
- A monograph is a long work by a single author or co-authors on a single
- subject. Each chapter must be prepared as a separate file. In addition,
- there will be a ``top-level'' file (which inputs all the others) and
- perhaps a file containing the bibliography. These files should be given
- meaningful names, so that when they are transmitted to the AMS, there
- will be no question about which file represents which chapter. For
- example, a monograph by author Grey might be composed of files named
- \filnam{grey.tex} (the top-level file), \filnam{grey-ch1.tex},
- \filnam{grey-ch2.tex}, \dots, \filnam{grey-ch12.tex},
- \filnam{grey-appa.tex}, etc., and \filnam{grey.bib}.
- Information that identifies the author(s), the subject matter of the
- monograph, acknowledgments of support, and so forth, will appear in the
- front matter of the book. Place this information in the top-level file,
- and use the tags shown below. Most of these are the same as the tags
- associated with the top matter of an article; see the \textit{Top
- matter} section for explanations and an indication of which tags are
- required.
- \subsection*{Starting a new \amslatex/ monograph}\label{newamsbook}
- Book driver files are generally made up of the following:
- \begin{itemize}
- \item \verb+\documentclass+
- \item preamble (where extra definitions might go)
- \item \verb+\begin{document}+
- \item \verb+\frontmatter+
- \item title page and copyright page information
- \item \verb+\maketitle+ (to set the title page and copyright page)
- \item \verb+\mainmatter+
- \item \verb+\include+ files
- \item \verb+backmatter+
- \item more \verb+include+ files
- \item \verb+\end{document}+
- \end{itemize}
- The table of contents will be produced automatically from a
- \filnam{.toc} file produced anew in each run of \latex/. Since there is
- no \filnam{.toc} before the first run, the body of the table of contents
- will be empty on the first run. It is AMS style to include only
- first-level heads, chapter titles, and part titles in the table of
- contents.
- The document file will typically look something like:
- \begin{verbatim}
- \documentclass{conm-m-l}
- \includeonly{preface,chap1,biblio,index}
- \newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}[section]
- \newtheorem{lemma}[theorem]{Lemma}
- \theoremstyle{definition}
- \newtheorem{definition}[theorem]{Definition}
- \newtheorem{example}[theorem]{Example}
- \theoremstyle{remark}
- \newtheorem{remark}[theorem]{Remark}
- \numberwithin{equation}{section}
- \begin{document}
- \frontmatter
- \title[]{}
- \author[]{}
- \address{}
- \curraddr{}
- \email{}
- \address{}
- \subjclass{}
- \thanks{}
- \maketitle
- \begin{abstract}
- \end{abstract}
- \tableofcontents
- \include{preface}
- \mainmatter
- \include{}
- \include{}
- \backmatter
- \include{}
- \include{}
- \end{document}
- \end{verbatim}
- \subsection*{Chapter titles}
- There are three common variations of the chapter title, of which the form
- with a chapter number is most common:
- \begin{verbatim}
- \chapter{Matrix Algebras}
- \end{verbatim}
- The second variation is an appendix, where the word ``Appendix''
- replaces the word ``Chapter.'' Use the command \ttcs{appendix} before
- the first \ttcs{chapter} command in a sequence of appendix chapters
- \cite{LM}.
- \begin{verbatim}
- \appendix
- \chapter{Poisson Integral}
- \end{verbatim}
- Not only will the ``Chapter'' word be replaced, but also the counter
- will produce letters ``A'', ``B'', ``C'', etc.,\ instead of numbers.
- The third variation is used for an element such as a preface or
- introduction, which has no pretitle text at all. For this, use the
- \ttcs{chapter*} command:
- \begin{verbatim}
- \chapter*{Preface}
- \end{verbatim}
- \subsection*{Monograph running heads}
- The chapter
- title is used for the left running head and the text of section
- headings (from \ttcs{section}) appears as the right running head. It
- is not uncommon for the text of a heading to be too long to fit in the
- running head width; in such a case use the square-bracket option to
- specify a shortened form of the heading for use in the running heads:
- \begin{verbatim}
- \section[Fourier coefficients of periodic functions]
- {Fourier coefficients of continuous periodic functions
- of bounded entropy norm}
- \end{verbatim}
- If the chapter title is too long to fit as a running head, a shortened
- form can be supplied in a similar way.
- \section{Converting an existing document to use an AMS document class}
- \subsection*{Old \LaTeX}\label{oldlatex}
- If you have an existing document that was written for \LaTeX\ 2.09, with
- the \texttt{article} or \texttt{book} documentstyle, and it did not use any
- AMS packages such as \texttt{amsfonts} or \texttt{amstex}, then the first step
- is to change the documentstyle line to
- \begin{verbatim}
- \documentclass[nomath,noamsfonts]{amsart}
- \end{verbatim}
- \begin{verbatim}
- \documentclass[nomath,noamsfonts]{amsbook}
- \end{verbatim}
- respectively.
- Then the author and address information should be rewritten as described
- in Section \ref{newamsart}. In the case of an article, you might want to
- specify a shortened version of the title for the running heads using the
- \verb+[]+ option of the \ttcs{title} command.
- Existing \ttcs{newtheorem} commands should be grouped according to the
- three `theorem styles' (plain, definition, remark) described in
- \cite{ALG}, and the corresponding \ttcs{theoremstyle} command
- should be added at the head of each group.
- \subsection*{\amslatex/ version 1.0 or 1.1}
- For a document that was written for version 1.0 or 1.1 of \amslatex/,
- conversion to version 1.2 involves first of all changing
- \ttcs{documentstyle} to \ttcs{documentclass}, as required by current
- \latex/.
- In e-mail addresses, change double \verb"@@" to a single \verb"@"
- character.
- Instances of the \env{pf} and\env{pf*} environments should be changed
- respectively to
- \begin{verbatim}
- \begin{proof}
- \end{proof}
- \end{verbatim}
- \begin{verbatim}
- \begin{proof}[Alternate Heading]
- \end{proof}
- \end{verbatim}
- If you want to accurately preserve the effect of explicit size-changing
- commands, you should also do the following changes: Change any instances
- of \ttcs{small} to \ttcs{Small}. Change any instances of \ttcs{tiny} to
- \ttcs{Tiny}. Change any instances of \ttcs{large} to \ttcs{Large}.
- \subsection*{\amstex/}
- There's no easy way to convert an \amstex/ document to an \amslatex/
- document; the command set and syntax are too different (think of the
- automatic numbering and cross-referencing, in particular). If it is
- necessary to convert an \amstex/ document, all experience shows that
- the fastest way, and the one that introduces fewest errors, is
- to have an experienced \amslatex/ keyboarder retype the document
- from a printed copy, and proofread again to catch typos.
