Thank you Vittorio. What I would like with this matrix is that the
right column can overfill the left one and viceversa. That way I can
have the long equations and the cases in two lines (eq. on the left
column, cases on the right column) every other line.
d= a+b+c+d+e+f+g
if a,b,c,d,e,f,g >1
a-b-c-d-e-f-g
if a,b,c,d,e,f,g<1
With this arrangement I can include the equations in just one column
of the two column paper. Is this something usual to do? What is the
"regular" way of handling the case of a series of long equations in
two columned papers?
Thanks in advance.
