In two column paper, I have long equations. I want one of the equations to be appear at the bottom of the current page. I have another equation which I want to be appear at the top of the second page. How I can control these equation positions?
I provide below example.
\documentclass[journal]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\title{\huge equation position control in two column paper}
\maketitle
\section{First} \label{first}
\lipsum[1-6]
\textbf{We need the first equation appear at the bottom of the first page.}
\begin{figure*}[!btp]
\normalsize
\begin{align} \label{eqn_first}
first & = aaa aaa aaa aaa + aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa + aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa + aaa aaa aaa aaa
\end{align}
\hrulefill
\vspace*{4pt}
\end{figure*}
\lipsum[2-5]
\section{Second} \label{second}
\lipsum[3-8]
\textbf{We need the second equation appear at the top of the second page.}
\begin{figure*}[!tbp]
\normalsize
\begin{align} \label{eqn_second}
second & = bbb bbb bbb bbb bbb bbb + bbb bbb bbb bbb bbb bbb bbb bbb bbb +bbb bbb bbb bbb bbb bbb bbb bbb +bbb bbb bbb bbb bbb
\end{align}
\hrulefill
\vspace*{4pt}
\end{figure*}
\lipsum[4-8]
