How can I have linebreaks in my long LaTeX equations

Question

My equation is very long  How do I get it to continue on the next line rather than go off the page

multline is best to use  Instead  you can use dmath  split as well   Here is an example    begin multline      text   bf  emph  T u          alpha     frac  sum  i 1    text  bf  emph  I u       text  bf  emph  S u i        text   bf  emph  Cr P u i          text   bf  emph  TF u i        text   bf  emph  I u                  beta     frac  sum  i 1    text  bf  emph   I h  u       text  bf  emph  S u i        text   bf  emph  Cr P u i          text   bf  emph  TF u i        text   bf  emph   I h  u       end multline

If it is inline equation  then use  allowbreak  Use it like   x 1 x 2 x 3  allowbreak x 4 x 5    Latex will break equation in this place only if necessary

To solve this issue  I used the array environment inside the equation environment like this    begin equation       begin array  r c l         first Term amp   amp Second Term                     amp   amp Third Term      end array   end equation

If your equation does not fit on a single line  then the multline environment probably is what you need    begin multline      first part of the equation          second part of the equation  end multline    If you also need some alignment respect to the first part  you can use split    begin equation       begin split          first part  amp   second part  1             amp   second part  2      end split   end equation    Both environments require the amsmath package   See also aligned as pointed out in an answer below

Without configuring your math environment to clip  you could force a new line with two backslashes in a sequence like this   Bla Bla    Bla Bla in another line   The problem with this is that you will need to determine where a line is likely to end and force to always have a line break there  With equations  rather than text  I prefer this manual way   You could also use     to prevent a new page from being started

Not yet mentioned here  another choice is environment aligned  again from package amsmath   documentclass article   usepackage amsmath    begin document    begin equation     begin aligned      A  amp    B   C          amp    D   E   F          amp    G    end aligned   end equation    end document   This outputs

I used the  begin matrix    begin equation   begin matrix      line 1         line 2         line 3  end matrix   end equation

Use eqnarray and  nonumber  example    begin eqnarray      sample   R s  pi s  s      gamma V   pi   s    nonumber         label eq temporal-difference       V   pi   k 1  s     1- alpha V   pi  s  -  alpha sample   end eqnarray

This worked for me while using mathtools package    documentclass article   usepackage mathtools   begin document       begin equation           begin multlined              first term                second term                           end multlined       end equation   end document

I think I usually used eqnarray or something  It lets you say   begin eqnarray       x  amp   amp  blah blah blah            amp   amp  more blah blah blah           amp   amp  even more blah blah  end eqnarray     and it will be aligned by the  amp   amp     As pkaeding mentioned  it s hard to read  but when you ve got an equation thats that long  it s gonna be hard to read no matter what     The   makes it not have an equation number  IIRC

There are a couple ways you can deal with this  First  and perhaps best  is to rework your equation so that it is not so long  it is likely unreadable if it is that long   If it must be so  check out the AMS Short Math Guide for some ways to handle it   on the second page   Personally  I d use an align environment  so that the breaking and alignment can be precisely controlled  e g    begin align      x amp  y  dots  dots x 100000000       amp  x 100000001  dots  dots  end align     which would line up the first plus signs of each line    but obviously  you can set the alignments wherever you like
