General rules:
Manuscripts should be in DinA4 format
-
- Textheight: 23cm
- Textwidth:16cm
- Left and right side margins: 2.5cm
- Font size: 11pt
- Page numbers: starting at the front page (no page numbers in the final camera ready copy, once the abstract/paper has been accepted).
The manuscript should start with the following sections in the given
order and all centered
-
- Title: bold, Large (14pt)
- Authors: Names seperated by commas (i.e. ","), upper index indicates the number in the affiliation list (if several authors)
- Affiliation: italics, including email-addresses of all authors
- Abstract: at most 150 words
Text:
-
- Footnotes: numbered seperately on each page and in arabic.
- Paragraphs: without indentation at the beginning.
- Citations: use arabic numbers in square brackets.
Tables and figures should be centered and numbered sequentially
throughout the manuscript in arabic (without section numbers).
-
- Figures: captions below
- Tables: captions above
Examples, theorems, lemmas, corollaries, and similar environments
should be numbered sequentially throughout the manuscript using arabic
numbers (but no section numbers).
For a Latex-file use \begin{example} and \end{example} at the beginning and
respectively at the end of an example (these
environments are defined in the ants-frame files. Analogously, use the
following commands for the other environments:
-
- \begin{theorem} - \end{theorem}
- \begin{lemma} - \end{lemma}
- \begin{corollary} - \end{corollary}
- \begin{claim} - \end{claim}
- \begin{definition} - \end{definition}
Proofs should begin with "Proof. " and end with a triangle at
the end of the last line. (For a Latex-file use the \proof and
\proofend commands at the beginning respectively end of a
proof; these commands are defined in the frame).
References should be ordered alphabetically, numbered in arabic, and formatted
as in the following examples (Latex users will use \bibitem or the Bibtex).
