Fixing Footnote Placement in eqnarray: Tips and Tricks for Proper Formatting

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a user seeking help with adding a footnote in LaTeX while using the 'eqnarray' environment. Initially, the footnote reference was not displaying correctly, resulting in a '1' appearing next to Omega without the actual footnote text at the bottom of the page. The user resolved the issue by replacing the footnote command with 'footnotemark' in the equation and then using 'footnotetext' outside the equation environment to properly display the footnote text as "Table 1." This adjustment allowed the footnote to appear correctly at the end of the document.

Hello,

I am writing a formula in 'eqnarray' and I need to write a footnote.

Here is my code:

Code:
\begin{eqnarray*}
\Omega(^4S_{3/2},^2D_{5/2})
&=& \frac{2J' + 1}{(2S' + 1)(2L' + 1)} \Omega(^4S, ^2D)\footnote{Table 1}\\
&=& \frac{2(5/2)+1}{(2)(5)}(6.9)\\ 
&=& 4.14\\
\end{eqnarray*}

The number '1' is appearing next to Omega, but the footnote (Table 1) is not appearing at the end of the page.

How can I fix it?

Thanks a lot

I was able to fix it.

If anyone is interested here is the new code:

Code:
\begin{eqnarray*}
\Omega(^4S_{3/2},^2D_{5/2})
&=& \frac{2J' + 1}{(2S' + 1)(2L' + 1)} \Omega(^4S, ^2D)\footnotemark\\
&=& \frac{2(5/2)+1}{(2)(5)}(6.9)\\ 
&=& 4.14\\
\end{eqnarray*}
\footnotetext{Table 1}
