I tried the example you posted later and it runs without problems here
(Debian/stable with pre-packaged TeXLive 2016).

I know that amsmath re-defines \dots to be context sensitive. It may be
that \numberwithin{equation}{section} interferes with this re-definition in
some way (in the version used by you) and the bug is solved in current
versions.
You may try to use \ldots instead of \dots or to update your TeX installation.

Re: Strange compile error
Hi
Thanks for replying. Ctrl-R does pdflatex. Attached is the tex file
produced by exporting from lyx, and I get the same error by running
pdflatex directly on it. I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 with everything upto date.
By the way the error still happens if the superscripts are removed, it
seems to be the \dots that are causing the problem.
Cheers

What format does ctrl-R use in your configuration? In mine, it's
pdflatex, and the document compiles just fine.

Strange compile error
Hi
Attached is a lyx file which when complied with ctrl-R gives the error
below copied from the error log. It also fails if I try to compile it as
a native .tex file.
The error goes away if the \dots is removed and it also goes away if the

I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.
Runaway argument?

The `$' that I just saw supposedly matches a previous `$$'.
