Hi,
can anyone tell me how to write equations like shown in the attachment? I want to know if there is a special package for the small legend to symbols under the equation, which I assume since I saw this on several documents. Any hints are appreciated.

Small Legend to Symbols directly beneath Equation
Funny, I had the same question and I could not find a single answer, except your recent post, also unanswered.
I solved this rather succesfully by creating a tabular without any horizontal or vertical lines. Two left aligned columns. Put the symbols between $...$ markers.
A table didn't work because it would be placed elsewhere as a float not necessarily directly below the equation. The new line after an equation is implicit, I added a \par behind the tabular
I did not reduce the font size, but it seems trivial.
I hope this helps, I wonder if you found something different.
