I have some quite long matrices I would like to insert in a LaTeX document, and I wanted to know if it was possible to split the matrix
environment to allow matrices to be displayed on several pages, as simply reducing enough the font makes my text unreadable. Here is a minimal working example:
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\begin{align*}
A=\begin{pmatrix}
0&0\\
0&0\\
0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0\\
0&0\\0&0
\end{pmatrix}
\end{align*}
\end{document}
In this example, we see that if we remove the last line of zeroes, the matrix will start at page 1 rather than at page 2 as it does here, while if we keep adding lines, LaTeX will continue displaying these additional elements and go beyond margins. I should precise that this is not the matrix I had in mind for my paper.
I should precise that in my specific case, the matrix has enough columns to fill a whole page.
\allowdisplaybreaks
and changed pages anyway.
