The problem is obviously with footnote 5. It is a very long equation which i want to be splitted in lines. However, it seems that threeparttable does not issues line brakes so my footnote goes into one line and overlaps with another column. Is there a way that my footnote catches more lines and stays in one column?

Split the single long math expression into several short ones.

Hi localghost! I tried to do so by inserting \\ but it didn't work out.

[localghost]

I didn't tell you to insert line breaks but to split the expression into several $…$ which means to interrupt the in-line math mode at appropriate places.

[di-mk1]

That seems to solve the problem. The only problem now is that at the first line of the footnote i want to start a \left( and at the last line of the footnote issue a \right), which due to several $...$ it fails. Any ideas?

[localghost]

Replace the \left( … \right) delimiter pairs with \big( … \big)*. These are manually adjusted delimiters where you don't have to take care that always a complete pair is in one line. But you have to choose the size that fits best on your own.

*There exist further manual size adjustments for (paired) delimiters with \Big, \bigg and \Bigg. See lshort.

That seems to solve the problem. Many thanks! \Big( and \Big) seem to restore the braking. It was the \left( and \right) that were preventing correct breaking.

[localghost]

That seems to solve the problem. […]

Then please mark the topic (not th last post) exactly as written in Section 3 of the Board Rules (to be read before posting) and as you have already been asked for.
