TeX - LaTeX Asked on March 30, 2021
I have the following equation, where there is a lot of stuff under the sum symbol:
begin{equation}
d(vec{x},vec{y})=
sum_{Z_{xy}invec{Z}_{xy},forall xinvec{x},forall yinvec{y}}
f(Z_{xy})
end{equation}
In the resulting document, I find it kind of hard to read. Is there a way to write the equation to make the result more readable, e.g. putting the stuff under the sum symbol on 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}invec{Z}_{xy}
forall xinvec{x}
forall yinvec{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}invec{Z}_{xy}
forall xinvec{x}
forall yinvec{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}invec{Z}_{xy},
forall xinvec{x},
forall yinvec{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
