    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 standard commands 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 same commands 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

    How to typeset articles using PublMathDeb.cls
    You can us the standard commands and environments of LaTeX 2e and of the amsart document class.

    In this part you can find some help for begin the work with the PublMathDeb document class.
    Here you can find information about giving the format of the article.

    1. Document class and other packages
    The PublMathDeb document class can be loaded with the standard \documentclass command, the amsmath package with the standard \usepackage command:

    \documentclass[draft]{publmathdeb}
    \usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts,amssymb}
    IMPORTANT
    If Authors use any other macro package(s) they are asked to enclose all of these files in the manuscript or to specify the web address(es) where they can be downloaded from.

    • 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.

    • 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 \newtheorem command, 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 the commands and environments can be used in a general way.
    Here is a sample page for showing the text formatting commands 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 standard commands 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 of commands for writing mathematical formulae.
    \end{lem}
    \begin{hth}
    \TeX\ contains a number of commands 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 references Commands of bibliographic references

      \by  author
      \paper title of the paper
      \paperinfo  
      \book title of the book
      \bookinfo  
      \handbook the title of the book/article if the authors are unknown
      \jour name of the journal
      \lang the language of the article/book
      \ed editor's name
      \eds editors' names
      \toappearin journal/book title in which the article will appear
      \vol volume number
      \issue issue number
      \publ published by ...
      \publaddr  
      \yr year
      \pages e.g. 28--35
      \www internet address of the aricle
      \toappear --> (to appear)
      \inprint if the article is in print (if volume and/or pages are unknown)
    --> (in print)
      \finalinfo for some other information, appears at the end of the item.

    Authors can use these commands of PublMathDeb document class for writing bibliographic references as follows: Numbering references
