Separate long math text under sum symbol into different lines?
You can use the \substack
command from the amsmath
package, like this:
\begin{equation}
d(\vec{x},\vec{y}) =
\sum_{\substack{Z_{xy}\in\vec{Z}_{xy}\\
\forall x\in\vec{x}\\
\forall y\in\vec{y}}}
f(Z_{xy})
\end{equation}
However, the result still doesn’t look good, because of the extra spacing around the sum symbol:
To fix this, you can use the \mathclap
command from the mathtools
package, like this:
\begin{equation}
d(\vec{x},\vec{y}) =
\sum_{\mathclap{\substack{Z_{xy}\in\vec{Z}_{xy}\\
\forall x\in\vec{x}\\
\forall y\in\vec{y}}}}
f(Z_{xy})
\end{equation}
But perhaps you might be happy using only \mathclap
, and not \substack
. The result looks good as long as the subscript is not too wide.
\begin{equation}
d(\vec{x},\vec{y}) =
\sum_{\mathclap{{Z_{xy}\in\vec{Z}_{xy},
\forall x\in\vec{x},
\forall y\in\vec{y}}}} f(Z_{xy})
\end{equation}
The mathtools
package also have several other useful commands for typesetting mathematics, including more commands for improving the display of subscripts and superscripts. I very much recommend taking a look at its documentation.
Try the \substack
command from the amsmath
package, details of which are found here
I think it can be done without \substack
as
\sum_{a=b \\ b=c \\ c=a}
wich results in
