## 1 Introduction

This documentation describes the SVJour LaTeX 2\(\varepsilon\) document class. It is not intended to be a general introduction to TeX or LaTeX. For this we refer to [2] and [3].

SVJour was derived from the LaTeX\(2_{\varepsilon}\) article.cls, based on TeX version 3.141 and LaTeX\(2_{\varepsilon}\). Hence text, formulas, figures and tables are typed using the standard LaTeX\(2_{\varepsilon}\) commands. The standard sectioning commands are also used.

The main differences to the standard article class are the presence of additional high-level structuring commands for the article header, new environments for theorem-like structures, and some other useful commands.

Please always give a \label where possible and use \ref for cross-referencing. Such cross-references will be converted to hyper-links in the elctronic version. The \cite and \bibitem mechanism for bibliographic references is also obligatory.

### Overview

The documentation consists of this document--which describes the whole class (i.e. the differences to the article.cls)--an extra and fairly small manual, explaining the conventions to apply this commands to the specific journal, and a ready to use template to allow you to start writing immediately.

### Using PostScript fonts

The journals of Springer Verlag are typeset using the PostScript1 Times fonts for the main text. As the use of PostScript fonts results in diffent line and page breaks than when using Computer Modern fonts, we encourage you to use our document class together with the psnfss package times. This package does all necessary font replacements to show you the page make-up as it will be printed. Ask your local TeXpert for details. PostScript previewing is possible on most systems. On some installations, however, on-screen previewing may be possible only with CM fonts.

Footnote 1: PostScript is a trademark of Adobe.

If, for technical reasons, you are not able to use the PS fonts, it is also possible to use our document class together with the ordinary Computer Modern fonts. Note, however, that in this case line and page breaks will change when we reTeX your file with PS fonts, making it necessary for you to check them again once you receive the proofs from the printer.

## 2 Initializing the class

To use the document class, enter at the beginning of your article. The first option _journal_ is required and should be set to the journal for which you are planning to submit a contribution. Other options, valid for every journal, are _draft_ to make overfull boxes visible, _final_ the opposite, and _referee_ required to produce the two hardcopies for the referees with a special layout. There are four additional options that control the automatic numbering of figures, tables, equations, and theorem-like environments (see Section 5): _numbook_ "numbering like the standard book class"--prefixes all the numbers mentioned above with the section number, _envcountsect_ the same for theorem like environments only, _envcountsame_ uses one counter for all theorem-like environments, _envcountreset_ resets the theorem counter(s) every new section. If a journal contains articles in other languages than English the class provides two options "[deutsch]" and "[francais]" that care for the translation of automatically supplied texts or phrases given from LaTeX. There may be additional options for a specific journal--please refer to the extra documentation or to the template file. As an example, we show how to begin a document for the journal _Numerische Mathematik_, produced in draft mode: \documentclass[nummat,draft]{svjour}

## 3 The article header

In this section we describe the usage of the high-level structuring commands for the article header. Header in this context means everything that comes before the abstract.

### The title

The commands for the title and subtitle of your article are

```
\title{\(\langle\)_your title\(\rangle\)\subtitle{\(\langle\)_your subtitle\(\rangle\)}
```

If needed in the specific journal, you can also insert a headnote like "Letter to the Editor" with ```
\headnote{\headnote{\headnote{\headnote{\headnote{\headnote{\headnote{\headnote{\headdots}}}}}}}
```

You can also dedicate your article to somebody by specifying

```
\dedication{\(\{\headdots{\headdots}}\}\)
```

### Authors

Informations on the authors are provided with

```
\author{\(\{\)authornames\(\}\}\)
```

If there is more than one author, the names should be separated by \and. If the authors have different affiliations, each name must be followed by

```
\inst{\(\{\)number\(}\}\)
```

Numbers referring to different addresses should be attached to each author, pointing to the corresponding institute.

To make this clear, we provide an example:

```
\author{JohnA.Smith\inst{1}\andJohnB.Doe\inst{2}}
```

### Address data

Address information is marked with

```
\institute{\(\{\)addressinformation\(\}\}\)
```

If there is more than one address, the entries are numbered automatically if you use \and to separate them. Please make sure that the numbers match those placed next to the authors' names. In addition, you can use

```
\email{\(\{\)emailaddress\(\}\}\)
```

to provide your email address within \institute.

To continue the example above, we could say

```
\institute{SmithUniversity,\email{smith@smith.edu} \andDoeInstitute}
```

### Footnotes to the title block

If footnotes to the title, subtitle, author's names or institute addresses are needed, please code them with

\thanks{_(text of footnote)_}

immediately after the word where the footnote indicator should be placed. These footnotes are marked by asterisks. If you need more than one consecutive footnote, use

\fnmsep

between them to typeset the comma separating the asterisks.

To provide an address for offprint requests and the name of the corresponding author, you can use

\offprints{_(name)_}

\mail{_(correspondence author)_}

The present address of an author can be typeset with an ordinary \thanks command.

### Changing the running heads

Normally the running heads--if present in the specific journal--are produced automatically by the \maketitle command using the contents of \title and \author. If the result is too long for the page header (running head) the class will produce an error message and you will be asked to supply a shorter version. This is done using the syntax

\title{_text_}

\authorrunning{_first author_}

These commands must be entered before \maketitle.

### Typesetting the header

Having entered the commands described in this section, please format the heading with the standard \maketitle command. If you leave it out, the work done so far will produce _no_ text.

Abstract and keywords

The environment for the abstract is the same as in the standard article class. To insert key words, you should use

```
\keywords{\(\langle\)keywords\(\rangle\)}
```

at the end of the abstract environment. The individual key words should be separated by \(\cup^{--}\cup\).

## 5 Theorem-like structures

### Predefined environments

To typeset environments such as lemmas, theorems, definitions or examples, we have predefined the following environments:

```
case,claim,conjecture,corollary,definition,example,exercise,lemma,note,problem,property,proposition,question,solution,theorem,proofandremark.
```

The syntax is exactly the same as described in [3, Sect. 3.4.3]:

```
\begin{(\langle\)environment\(\rangle\)}[\(\langle\)name\(\rangle\)]... \end{tabular}

where the optional _name_ is often used for the common name of the theorem:
``` \begin{theorem}[Church,Rosser]... \end{tabular} Sometimes the automatic braces around the optional argument are unwanted (e.g. when it consists only of a reference made with \cite). Then you can wrap the whole theorem-like structure in a theopargself environment. It suppresses the braces and gives you complete control over the optional argument, e.g.:

``` \begin{theorem}[cite{Church,Rosser}]... \end{tabular}
