- \centerline{\bf USING THE \AmSTeX\ SIAM STYLE FILE}
- \medskip
- {\eightpt\centerline{DOUGLAS N. ARNOLD and BRADLEY J. LUCIER}}
- \bigskip
- This document explains the use of the \AmSTeX\ SIAM style file to produce
- a paper that is well on its way to being
- typographically acceptable for publication
- in a SIAM journal. The \AmSTeX\ SIAM style file (amstexsiam.sty) is
- a modification of the \AmSTeX\ style file, amsppt.sty.
- We assume familiarity with \AmSTeX\ and amsppt,
- as documented in
- {\it The Joy of \TeX\ }
- by Michael Spivak.
-
- Most of the points introduced below are illustrated in
- the nonsense paper {\it A sample paper to illustrate the
- \AmSTeX\ SIAM style file}.
-
- \heading{Publication information} When the paper has been accepted,
- this must be noted in the \TeX\ input file using the macro \verb"\accepted",
- and various information must be given
- after the \verb"\documentstyle" command to correctly format
- the first page of the paper and the running heads. This information
- consists of the beginning page number of the article,
- the journal name, the issue volume, the issue number,
- the month of appearance, the year of appearance,
- the place of the paper in the issue, the head for even pages, and
- the head for odd pages, as in the following example:
- \medskip
- \beginverbatim
- \accepted
- \pageno=10
- \def\journalname{{\sixrm SIAM J. M{\fiverm ATH.} A{\fiverm NAL.}}}
- \def\issuevolume{1}
- \def\issuenumber{2}
- \def\issuemonth{February}
- \def\issueyear{1988}
- \def\placenumber{002}
- \def\evenhead{bradley j\. lucier and douglas n\. arnold}
- \def\oddhead{a sample paper}.
- \endverbatim
- \medskip
- \noindent The even and odd heads can be given even before the paper has been
- accepted.
-
- \heading{Title} Use \verb"\title" and \verb"\endtitle".
- Type the title in all caps.
- Attach any footnotes that apply to the paper
- as a whole to the title.
-
- \heading{Author} Use \verb"\author" and \verb"\endauthor".
- Type the author's name in all caps. For multiple authors type the word
- ``and'' in lowercase.
-
- \heading{Author's affiliation} Give the affiliation of each author
- in a footnote attached to each author's name. Statements
- acknowledging support should be contained in the same footnote.
- Do {\it not} use the \verb"\affil" or \verb"\address" macros.
-
- \heading{Footnotes} Use \verb"\footnote".
- For the topmatter, use footnote symbols.
- In the rest of the paper
- use numbered footnotes.
- The order of footnote symbols is star (*\thinspace = \thinspace\verb"*"), dagger
- (\dag\thinspace =\thinspace \verb"\dag"), double-dagger (\ddag\thinspace =\thinspace \verb"\ddag"),
- section-marker (\S\thinspace = \thinspace\verb"\S").
-
- \heading{Abstract} Use \verb"\abstract".
-
- \heading{Keywords} Use \verb"\keywords" with commas between keywords
- but without ending punctuation.
-
- \heading{Subject classifications} Use \verb"\subjclass"
- with commas between classifications
- but without ending punctuation.
-
- \heading{Headings} Use \verb"\subheading" without ending punctuation.
- The argument shall begin with the section number followed by a period
- and then the section name with only the first word capitalized.
- Very long papers could use \verb"\heading" and \verb"\subheading". If
- \verb"\heading" is used start heading name with a section mark
- (\S\thinspace =\thinspace\verb"\S") and the section number followed by a period and the
- section title with the first letter of each major word capitalized.
-
- \heading{Equation numbers} Use \verb"\tag".
-
- \heading{Theorems, etc} Use \verb"\proclaim" and \verb"\endproclaim"
- for theorems, lemmas, corollaries, claims, propositions, etc. The
- argument to \verb"\proclaim" takes no ending punctuation.
-
- \heading{Definitions} Use \verb"\proclaim" and \verb"\endproclaim",
- but use \verb"\rm" to set the body of the definition in roman.
-
- \heading{Proofs, etc} Use \verb"\demo" and \verb"\enddemo"
- for proofs, examples, remarks, cases, etc. The
- argument to \verb"\demo" takes no ending punctuation. The
- end-of-proof mark is an open box (\qed\thinspace =\thinspace\verb"\qed").
-
- \heading{Lists and sublists} Use \verb"\roster" and \verb"\endroster".
- Rosters use default labels of the form (1), (2), etc.
- Subrosters are permitted. Each subroster {\it must} be enclosed
- in a separate pair of braces. Subrosters are not standard \AmSTeX.
-
- \heading{References} These can be done exactly as in {\it The Joy
- of \TeX.} Use \verb"\Refs" and \verb"\ref".
-
- \heading{Table of contents} There are no special macros provided to set
- a table of contents. If a table of contents is desired, follow these
- guidelines. Switch to eight point type (\verb"\eightpoint").
- Center the word ``CONTENTS'' in caps. Capitalize only the first word
- of entries. Runover lines align with the start of entries.
- Place the section number flush left with one em to section title,
- spaced dots from end of entry to page number, and two ems between the
- dots and page number. Leave 18--20 points of vertical space, baseline
- to baseline, to the text above and below.
-
- \heading{Figure legends} Use \verb"\topspace" or \verb"\midspace".
- Set the caption as, for example,
- \verb"\topspace{3 in}\caption{\eightpoint{\smc Fig\. 1.\enspace}\it Type caption here.}".
-
- \heading{Tables} There are no special macros provided to set
- tables. Follow these guidelines.
- Switch to eight point type (\verb"\eightpoint").
- Center the table on the page width. Put a minimum
- of 18 points
- space (baseline to baseline) above and/or below the table.
- Center the label over the table. The label
- should be of the form \verb"{\smc Table~1.}" The title of the table should
- be in italics centered over the table with only the first word capitalized.
- Column headings may be in set in six point type if necessary to fit properly
- over the columns. Place half point rules
- above and below the column headings, and at the end of the table.
-
- \heading{New control sequence in the \AmSTeX\ SIAM style file}
- The amount that each roster is indented is controlled by the value of
- \verb"\rosterindent". For most lists the default value need not
- be changed.
-
- \heading{Fonts} The font \verb"cmcsc10" is
- used at 8 point (\verb"cmcsc10 at 8 pt") so there is a
- caps-and-small-caps font for use in abstracts, etc. You must
- have the appropriate \verb"pxl", \verb"pk" or \verb"gf" file for
- your printer driver. (See your local \TeX\ guru. He or she may
- generate the font in the right size using Metafont.)
- Or, you can redefine the font \verb"\eightsmc"
- to be whatever you can use for an eight point caps-and-small-caps font.
- If you have absolutely no eight point caps-and-small-caps font, then
- give the command \verb"\font\eightsmc=cmr8" to substitute
- eight point roman. SIAM can change it later if necessary.
-
- The file uses
- the newer \verb"cm" (computer modern) family of fonts (\verb"cmr9",
- \verb"cmr8", \verb"cmr6", \verb"cmmi9", \verb"cmmi8", \verb"cmmi6",
- \verb"cmsy9", \verb"cmsy8", \verb"cmsy6", \verb"cmbx9", \verb"cmbx8",
- \verb"cmbx6", \verb"cmti9", \verb"cmti8", \verb"cmsl9", \verb"cmsl8",
- \verb"cmcsc10", and \verb"cmcsc10 at 8 pt"), so you
- will have to change these references to the appropriate \verb"am"
- (almost modern) fonts
- if that is all you have available
- at your site. The style file also assumes the
- existence of the American Mathematical Society fonts
- \verb"msxm9", \verb"msxm8", \verb"msxm6", \verb"msym9", \verb"msym8",
- and \verb"msym6". If you do
- not have these fonts, then comment out the lines in amstexsiam.sty that
- reference
- them.
-
- \heading{Control sequences defined in the amsppt style but not in the \AmSTeX\ SIAM style}
- The commands
- \verb"\affil", \verb"\endaffil", \verb"\address", \verb"\date", and
- \verb"\thanks" have been redefined to give error messages when used, because
- their function has been taken over by other constructions, mainly footnotes
- to the title of the paper and the authors' names.
