Math & Science ⇒ Custom Equation Numbering

[bkarpuz]

Dear all,

I dont know whether i am asking my question in the right subsection, but I could not find the suitable one.
I use \eqref and \label for my equations.
I want to set a custom \tag to an equation as follows:
Suppose that LaTeX assigns (2) to my equation but I want its label to be (2-n).
I used the following code,

Code: Select all

\tag{\theequation-n}\label{myeq2n}

but this time I got (1-n).
Should I increase the equation counter?
If so how?

Many thanks.

\stepcounter{equation}
but be a little carefull about doing it inside math, because some ams constructions typeset the contents twice

Thanks!

But I now realized that what I need is a little bit different.
I label an equation by \label{myeq1} as (1-n) for instance.
And I want to say:
"It is clear that (1-1) holds, suppose now that (1-n) is true, and we will show that (1-(n+1)) is also true".
I think there is no way for this.

Thanks again.

That is certainly possible, but please post the formula itself and show precisely how you'd like to write it, then we can look for a good solution.

Many thanks phi.
I give a sample code below

Code: Select all

Now, we prove that
\begin{equation}
\|x_{k}(t)-x_{k-1}(t)\|\leq\frac{(t-t_{0})^{k}}{k!}\label{eq1}%I want to show this as (Eq.1-k)
\end{equation}
holds for all $k\in\mathbb{N}$.
It is clear that (Eq.1-1) holds trivially. %call by \eqref.
Next suppose that (Eq.1-k) is true for some $k\in\mathbb{N}$, then we have %call by \eqref.
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
\|x_{k+1}(t)-x_{k}(t)\|\leq&\cdots\\
=&\frac{(t-t_{0})^{k+1}}{(k+1)!},
\end{split}\notag
\end{equation}
which proves that (Eq.1-(n+1)) holds. %call by \eqref.

In the above code, the number 1 in the label (Eq.1-k) is the equation counter.
