Math & Science ⇒ algorithms | Page Break for Algorithm

[sebkro]

Hello,

I have written the following algorithm but unfortunately LaTeX puts it in the center of a new page and leaves the rest of this page completely blank even though there is still quite a lot of space left on the page.

Code: Select all

\begin{algorithm}
\caption{Solve Query}
\begin{algorithmic}[1]
	\Require \hspace*{1mm}
		\newline \(q_{init}\): robot's current configuration
		\newline \(q_{goal}\): destination configuration
		\newline \textit{k}: number of closest neighbours being examined for each configuration
		\newline \textit{G} = (\textit{V},\textit{E}) is the previously computed roadmap
	\Ensure \hspace*{1mm}
		\newline P is a path from \(q_{init}\) to \(q_{goal}\) or NIL if such a path does not exist
		\newline
		
	\State \textit{\(N_{q_{init}}\)} \(\leftarrow\) the \textit{k} closest neighbours of \textit{\(q_{init}\)} from \textit{V} according to \textit{dist}
	\State \textit{\(N_{q_{goal}}\)} \(\leftarrow\) the \textit{k} closest neighbours of \textit{\(q_{goal}\)} from \textit{V} according to \textit{dist}
	\ForAll{\(q' \in N_{q_{init}}\)}
		\If{\textit{\(\Delta\)}(\textit{\(q_{init}\)}, \textit{q'}) \(\neq\) NIL}
			\State \textit{E} \(\leftarrow\) (\textit{\(q_{init}\)}, \textit{q'}) \(\cup\) \textit{E}
			\State break
		\EndIf
	\EndFor
	\ForAll{\(q' \in N_{q_{goal}}\)}
		\If{\textit{\(\Delta\)}(\textit{\(q_{goal}\)}, \textit{q'}) \(\neq\) NIL}
			\State \textit{E} \(\leftarrow\) (\textit{\(q_{goal}\)}, \textit{q'}) \(\cup\) \textit{E}
			\State break
		\EndIf
	\EndFor
	\State \textit{P} \(\leftarrow\) shortest path(\textit{\(q_{init}\)}, \textit{\(q_{goal}\)}, \textit{G})
	\State \Return P
\end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}

So i want the rest of the page to be filled with that text. Right before and after the algorithm there is just plain text without line breaks or anything so that cannot be the problem. I am completely new to LaTeX so I hope someone can give me hint.


Thanks a lot,
Sebastian
