I am writing in IEEE double column environment. I have some equations with cases. For example, this equation seems to have too much space after the brace and also before and after the commas.
I was using the array
environment which seems to cause those large spacing. I still prefer to have some independent control over the alignment of the three parts of the equation, since in some cases for each column, the length may be quite different, and I may choose to center, left, or right align for each column. What would be a good way to make those spacings smaller but still have control over the alignment?
The code I used for the equation is
beginequation
theta_pk=left{ beginarrayccc
omega t+alpha+beta & , & n=1,2,3,4,5,6,ldots\
-omega t-alpha-beta & , & n=7,8,9,10,11,12,ldots
endarrayright.

as mentioned @marmot in comment, cases
from amsmath
is right toool for what you like obtain:
documentclassIEEEtran
usepackageamsmath
usepackagelipsum % for dummy text
begindocument
lipsum[1]
beginequation
theta_pk =
begincases
omega t+alpha+beta & , n=1,2,3,4,5,6,ldots\
-omega t-alpha-beta & , n=7,8,9,10,11,12,ldots
endcases
endequation
lipsum[2-4]

Is it possible to reduce the space before the commas if I have slightly longer equations to fit in the column?

Great answer!! According to AMS, I think that the commas have to start just after the expression e.g.omega t+alpha+beta,
and notomega t+alpha+beta&,
, and at the end of the line should be a comma e.g.ldots,

A variant, with the fleqn
environment from nccmath
. I improvedged the alignment in the first column of the cases
environment, using a phantom — sign in the first row.
You also can save some space – to a certain extent, with the mathrlap
command from mathtools
(which loads amsmath
). I didn't need it here.
