# keep numbering in appendix

I have a question about the numbering in the appendix.

I want to proof a Lemma in the appendix which I used in the normal sections of my thesis. Therefore, I want to state the Lemma again in the appendix, followed by the proof. But I would like to keep the numbering of the Lemma the same as where I first used it instead of having them numbered with (A.1) etc.

Example:

In the normal chapters:

Lemma 3.7

statement and formular (3.21)

Then in the Appendix it should also stay like this:

Appendix

Lemma 3.7

....

Proof:

In order to proof equation (3.21), we have to....

\end proof

I hope it is clear, what I'm looking for.

Thanks!

• You can use a stared version of the \newtheorem and change its theoremstyle to format in the same way. Then you can use \begin{lemaX}[Lemma~\ref{lema3.7}] \end{lemaX}. Nov 18 '13 at 13:56
