General ⇒ How to add headings for splitted algorithms

[daiyue]

Hi, after I splitted a long algorithm into 2-3 parts across 3 pages. I now add a caption like "Algorithm 1 continued" to each of the consecutive part.

Code: Select all

\begin{algorithm}
\caption{Construct relational tables}
\label{alg3}
\begin{algorithmic}[1]
\Input a set of data item clusters $C$
\Output a relational table with all data items aligned
\State some algorithm code
\State ...
\algstore{myalg}
\end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}

\begin{algorithm}
\caption{Algorithm \ref{alg3} continued}
\begin{algorithmic} [1]                   % enter the algorithmic environment
\algrestore{myalg}
\State some other algorithm code
\State ...
\end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}

The problem is

caption for splitted the algorithm

As shown, each splitted part's caption is shown as a separated algorithm, but it is incorrect. So how to resolve the issue.
thanks

How did you generate the splitted algorithm? Can you show us a minimal working example?

I have modified my OP.

You could use \algstore{somename} at the and of a part, and \algrestore{somename} at the beginning of the next part. Each part would be like a normal algorithm environment with a caption. You can use the same \caption or different captions in each part.

If you would show code, we can take it as example. No problem to read a long algorithm here.

That's nice, but it would be really great if you would make it compilable. Without, nobody here can execute it. Don't worry about the space in the forum, no problem at all. Making it easy to test ensures quick and good answers which have been tested.

Idea: use the caption package in the preamble:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{caption}

and then in the 2nd and 3rd algorithm parts the starred version:

Code: Select all

\caption*{Algorithm \ref{alg3} continued}

This way you won't get a caption starting with "Algorithm 4:" or the like.
