Math & Science ⇒ Matrix spanning over two pages?

[kkudi]

Hi everyone

I have matrix which has 81 rows and I'm having difficulties to place it over two pages. Presently, when it reaches at the end of the page (very end, disobeying any borders), the rest of the matrix is not showing.

How can I span the matrix over two pages?

This is the code for the matrix...

Code: Select all

\begin{table}[H]
\[
\bordermatrix{
~ & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 \cr
	1 & 0.0741 & 0.0741 & 0 & 0 & 0.0741 & 0.7778    \cr
	2 &  0.2097 & 0.0806 & 0.0081 & 0.0323 & 0.0403 & 0.629  \cr	
.......
      }
\]
     \caption{ 80 row matrix}

\end{table}

Thanks,
Andreas

I can't think of an easy way how to do this. But you could manually separate the large matrix and indicate that it continues on the next page with \vdots or so. Also you could use \lceil, \lfloor, \rceil and \rfloor as brackets (definitely not ideal, but better than the closed round brackets).

Code: Select all

Note how I use \stackrel{}{} in order to stack the matrix and the \vdots.

This looks something like (second part of the matrix only):

Hope this helps...

EDIT:
An alternative would be to use the longtable environment. But it is not a math environment and probably wouldn't look as good. But it will do the page break for you.
