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

SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on resolving footnote placement issues within the 'eqnarray' environment in LaTeX. The original code resulted in the footnote number appearing next to Omega, while the actual footnote text did not display at the bottom of the page. The solution involved replacing the footnote command with 'footnotemark' in the equation and using 'footnotetext' outside the equation to correctly position the footnote. This adjustment ensures that the footnote is properly formatted and displayed as intended.

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*}
