Headings

The top matter of a journal paper falls into a standard format. It begins of course with the \documentstyle command

\documentstyle[twoside]{siamltex}

Other style options (such as numinsec) can be included in the bracketed argument of the command, separated by commas. SIAM publishes articles at 10 point size, and siamltex will do so automaticlly. If a preliminary version at 11 point size is desired, put siam11 in the optional argument. But when the file is submitted it must be back in 10 point size.

The title and author parts are formatted using the \title and \author commands. The \date command is not used. \maketitle produces the actual output of the commands.

The addresses and support acknowledgments are put into the \author commands via \thanks. If support is overall for the authors, the support acknowledgment should be put in a \thanks command in the \title. Specific support should go following the addresses of the individual authors in the same \thanks command.

Sometimes authors have support or addresses in common which necessitates having multiple \thanks commands for each author. Unfortunately LATEX does not normally allow this, so a special procedure must be used. An example of this procedure follows. Grant information can also be run into both authors' footnotes.

\title{TITLE OF PAPER}

\author{A.~U. Thorone\footnotemark[2]\ \footnotemark[5]
\and A.~U. Thortwo\footnotemark[3]\ \footnotemark[5]
\and A.~U. Thorthree\footnotemark[4]}

\begin{document}
\maketitle

\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\fnsymbol{footnote}}

\footnotetext[2]{Address of A.~U. Thorone}
\footnotetext[3]{Address of A.~U. Thortwo}
\footnotetext[4]{Address of A.~U. Thorthree}
\footnotetext[5]{Support in common for the first and second
authors.}

\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\arabic{footnote}}

Notice that the footnote marks begin with [2] because the first mark (the asterisk) will be used in the title for date-received information by SIAM, even if not already used for support data. This is just one example; other situations follow a similar pattern.

Following the author and title is the abstract, key words listing, and AMS subject classification number(s), designated using the {abstract}, {keywords}, and {AMS} environments. If there is only one AMS number, the commands \begin{AM} and \end{AM} are used instead of {AMS}. This causes the heading to be in the singular. Authors are responsible for providing AMS numbers. They can be found in the Annual Index of Math Reviews, or through e-Math (telnet@e-math.ams.com; login and password are both e-math).

Left and right running heads should be provided in the following way.
