如何向词汇表添加函数定义

Question

我第一次在论文文档中使用词汇表包。一切都适用于简单的符号，例如

\newglossaryentry{Ndist}{name=$\mathcal{N}$, description={normal distribution}}

但是当我尝试像这样定义正态分布时

\newglossaryentry{Ndist}{name=$\mathcal{N}(0,\sigma^2)$, description={normal distribution of mean zero and variance $\sigma^2$}}

我收到错误，包括：

Missing \endcsname inserted. ...ion of mean zero and variance $\sigma^2$}}
Package xkeyval Error: `\sigma ^2)$' undefined in families `glossentry'. ...ion of mean zero and variance $\sigma^2$}}
Missing $ inserted. ...tentrycounter[]{page}\glsnumberformat{20}}}
Missing $ inserted. ...from the normal distribution, \gls{Ndist},
Overriding \printglossary
Overriding `theglossary' environment

...

在这两种情况下我都会收到此警告，但不确定它是否重要：

name{glo:Ndist} has been referenced but does not exist, replaced by a fixed one

正如您所怀疑的，问题出在名称中的逗号，因为glossaries它被用作定义字段之间的分隔符。只需将值括name在花括号中即可解决问题：

\newglossaryentry{Ndist}{
  name={$\mathcal{N}(0,\sigma^2)$},
  description={normal distribution of mean zero and variance $\sigma^2$}
}
