Text Formatting ⇒ Italicized Blackboard Letters

[richardgu26]

Dear all,

is there any way to typeset blackboard letters like \mathbb{E} in italic?


Thanks in advance.

A quick hack found on TeX SX.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{amssymb}

\DeclareMathAlphabet{\mathbbmsl}{U}{bbm}{m}{sl}

\begin{document}
  \[
    \mathbb{E} \mathbbmsl{E} \boldsymbol{E}
  \]
\end{document}

I wouldn't recommend it though. Where did you get the idea to do this?


Best regards
Johannes

Thanks for your help. It comes into my mind as reading an economic paper, and find this math expectation operator looks good. I used mathpazo to follow the font, but cannot figure out how to get "E_t" done. The equation I attached. Any idea how to get this? I appreciate it!

Would it be possible for you to provide the equation code in form of a minimal working example? This way, we don't have to type it again and can try out possible solutions right away.

My fault. I did not clear it clear. I don't know how to make it happen so that I posted the one that I found in an economic paper. Wish someone saw it visually could figure out how to do it.

I have no idea what you're saying.

Anyway, here's an MWE for people to play with (this is what Johannes wanted you to do).

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts}

\DeclareMathAlphabet{\mathbbmsl}{U}{bbm}{m}{sl}

\begin{document}
  \[
    (e^\gamma-h\beta)(e^\gamma-h)\xi_t=
    -(e^{2\gamma}+\beta h^2)c_t+\beta he^\gamma
    \mathbbmsl{E}_t[c_{t+1}+z{t+1}]+he^\gamma(c_{t-1}-z_t)
  \]
\end{document}
