Math & Science ⇒ Multipage aligned equations

[siekosunfire]

I have a couple of multiline equations for some proofs in a publication. Unfortunately, in the process of writing up the remainder of the paper, several of these multiline, aligned equations (using the align* environment) have been placed on separate pages, often leaving a great deal of whitespace on the preceding page. As such, I'm curious to know if there is some LaTeX command, or perhaps process, that will me to allow automatically split aligned equations across multiple pages. For instance, roughly half of the equation (or whatever would fill up the remaining space on one page) would go on the first page, while the rest would be on the second.

Ideally, I would not like to give up the equation alignment, nor have to manually indent the lines that follow on the subsequent page. Moreover, I'm not constrained to the align or align* environments, so any suitable multipage-friendly alternatives would be welcome. However, if it's not possible, that's fine too.

Cheers.

Hi siekosunfire,

welcome to the board!
You could control page breaking by the commands \allowdisplaybreaks and \displaybreak of amsmath, see its documentation.

Stefan,

I appreciate your prompt reply and insightful comments! I figured that there was something available already (and would probably end up being an easy solution); however, I just didn't know where it would fall under.

Cheers.
