why this newcommand doesn't work in align environment?












4















I'm trying to use the 'newcommand' in the environment 'align', for that I created the 'newcommand' rbel that is an 'arrow' with a 'n' below It.
I put all the packages that I'm using.



     documentclass[A4,12pt]{article}
usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts,amscd,amssymb,amsthm,amsbsy}
usepackage[english]{babel}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage{graphicx}
usepackage{abraces}
usepackage{upgreek}
usepackage{mathrsfs}
usepackage{dsfont}
usepackage[hang,small,labelfont=bf,up,textfont=it,up]{caption}
usepackage{dsfont,float}
usepackage{color}
newcommand{rbel}{
mbox{;rightarrow_{hspace*{-0.3cm}{small n}};~}
}
begin{document}
begin{align}
theta_n>1, quad
dfrac{1}{theta_n^2} rbel 0
end{align}
end{document}


That gives these messages



"Missing } inserted. end{align}"
"Missing cr inserted. end{align}"
"Missing $ inserted. end{align}"
"Extra }, or forgotten $. end{align}"

    Your rbel-command contains an mbox. Even in math-mode the content of mboxes isn't in math-mode any more as mboxes switch to text-mode...

    For avoiding linebreaks in math-mode usually nesting things in curly-brace-groups is sufficient. I.e., just do without the mbox: newcommand{rbel}{{;rightarrow_{hspace*{-0.3cm}{small n}};~}}

It seems you want an arrow with “n” underneath:



documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
usepackage{amsmath}

newcommand{rbel}{xrightarrow[n]{}}

begin{document}

[
theta_n>1, quad dfrac{1}{theta_n^2} rbel 0
]

end{document}


The error is because you're exiting from math mode when in mbox.



I removed all the unnecessary package; please, take note that the option for A4 paper is called a4paper, not A4.

    It works if the mbox is replaced by ensuremath. Furthermore the code causes some warnings. A4 is no valid option for the article class and small is ignored in math mode.



    documentclass[12pt]{article}
    usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts,amscd,amssymb,amsthm,amsbsy}
    usepackage[english]{babel}
    usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
    usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
    usepackage{graphicx}
    usepackage{abraces}
    usepackage{upgreek}
    usepackage{mathrsfs}
    usepackage{dsfont}
    usepackage[hang,small,labelfont=bf,up,textfont=it,up]{caption}
    usepackage{dsfont,float}
    usepackage{color}
    newcommand{rbel}{
    ensuremath{;rightarrow_{hspace*{-0.3cm}{n}};~}
    }
    begin{document}
    begin{align}
    theta_n>1, quad
    dfrac{1}{theta_n^2} rbel 0

      Another simple solution for your question using tikz-cd. You can observe from the picture that n is more near at the arrow of same dimension of the lenght of xrightarrow.



      enter image description here



      Here there is the MWE:



      documentclass[12pt]{article}
      usepackage{mathtools,tikz-cd}
      begin{document}
      [
      theta_n>1, quad begin{tikzcd}[column sep=.4cm]
      dfrac{1}{theta_n^2} arrow[r, "n"'] & 0
      end{tikzcd}
      ]
      end{document}

                    It works if the mbox is replaced by ensuremath. Furthermore the code causes some warnings. A4 is no valid option for the article class and small is ignored in math mode.

                        Another simple solution for your question using tikz-cd. You can observe from the picture that n is more near at the arrow of same dimension of the lenght of xrightarrow.



                        enter image description here



                        Here there is the MWE:



                        documentclass[12pt]{article}
                        usepackage{mathtools,tikz-cd}
                        begin{document}
                        [
                        theta_n>1, quad begin{tikzcd}[column sep=.4cm]
                        dfrac{1}{theta_n^2} arrow[r, "n"'] & 0
                        end{tikzcd}
                        ]
                        end{document}
