Math & Science ⇒ Case environment in theorem proofs

[buenasdiaz]

Hi! I'm trying to divide my proof on cases. So I use \begin{case}-environment and I would like to have something like that:
Case 1. Text
Case 1.1. Text
Case 1.2. Text
Case 2.
But in the result I get the following:
Case 1.
Case 2.
Case 3.
How to make subcases?

It seems to be complex - you could use an enumerate environment instead. It may be nested.

I have solved this problem myself as follows:
...
\newtheorem{case}{Case}
\newtheorem{subcase}{Case}
\numberwithin{subcase}{case}
\begin{document}
...
\begin{case}
...
\begin{subcase}
...
\end{subcase}
...
\end{case}
...
With such code I'v got exactly what I wanted.

It would be good to mark the topic as solved then. In this forum it can be done by editing the first post and choosing the checkmark.
