Math & Science ⇒ Specific Range for a Sequence

[vinp]

Hello list,

I need to specify the following mathematical text in my document.

Code: Select all

{(X<subscript k>, Y<subscript k>)}<subscript k = 1><superscript alpha>

In the above text, I have used the notation <subscript> and <superscript> to denote the actual formatting, since I could not copy and paste the exact text from the reference document in which the above mathematical text appears. The reference document can be accessed at the following link, in which the above text can be found as the second word of the "Abstract" section:

Thanks in Advance for your suggestions

This is TeX 1 (i.e., basic stuff). Here's how you'd do it, but this is something you should know how to do before you ever try writing a real document.

Code: Select all

\[
  \{(X_k, Y_k)\}_{k = 1}^{\alpha}
\]

If you want it in-line instead of display-style, replace \[ with \( and the same for the closing bracket.

Thanks for that accurate tip and it worked extremely well. I generally refer to the latex wiki page for math functions and have been able to manage on my own so far for most of the mathematical text that I need to use in my document. I got stuck with this one though. As they say, there is always a first time.
