 | Hello!
I have played around with Latex a lot but still my model write-ups
don't come out as nicely as in the books...
I want to typeset a large list of constraints, equalities,
inequalities etc. with the "for all"s next to it and maybe even a
constraint number behind it at the right border of the page. The
formulas are sometimes longer than a line and thus must be broken.
Also I want to have a nice list of all the parameters and variables
explaining what everything is right below the model.
I have dug deep in the net but didn't find something special for these
kind of OR models.
Has anybody managed to do something like this nicely? Could you please
point me to some example Latex code?
Thanks a thousand times!
Bob

When I'm writing an optimization model, I typically use an array
environment: \min, \mathrm{s.t.} etc. in the first column; body of
objective/constraint in second column; \le, =, \ge in the third column;
index ranges, \forall etc. in fourth column. For the list of symbols, I
think there's a definition environment that might work.
You might have better luck getting LaTeX help from the comp.text.tex
newsgroup.

I don't think that "something special" is needed. Latex is good
enough to do what you want. Use AMS-Latex if formulas are more
complicated.
