    1. This is possible in the * version of an equation environment and in the display math using $$. Just type \tag{*} at the end of the equation to produce the desired output.

      Copy the following lines to ur TeX file and run for the desired output

      \begin{equation*}
      \sum_{i=1}^n i^3 = \left(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\right)^2 \tag{*}
      \end{equation*}

      or

      $$
      \sum_{i=1}^n i^3 = \left(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\right)^2 \tag{*1}
      $$

      Here the number will be (*1)

      or

      \[
      \sum_{i=1}^n i^3 = \left(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\right)^2 \tag{*10}
      \]

      Here (*10)

    2. Use \tag*{*1} for *1 without parentheses

  2. How to provide vert as a delimeter?

    1. vert can be included using the command \vert

      Remember \Vert is for ||

      As a delimiter, you may use the command \vert

      For example try this

      $\left\vert \dfrac{1}{2} \right\vert$

      you can see the vertical tab expands up to the height of the fraction.

    1. A cross-reference is used when the occasion to refer the reader to something mentioned earlier in the same document.
      In LaTeX cross-reference is used for sections, enunciations, equations, bibliography... etc.
      Cross-reference command is \ref{label_name}.
      Label name must be labeled using the command \label{label_name}.

  5. what is mean by citation in latex? Kindly explain the main difference between simple citation and author year citation?

  6. Simple citations are numbered which is placed in square brackets.
    e.g. \cite{richard} ==> [1].
    Author Year citations creates the name of authors and the year of publishing there journal, book, Thesis..etc.
    author year citations are refered by \citep{} and \citet{}
    e.g. \citep{Richrd2007} ==> (Richard, 2007)
    \citet{Richrd2007} ==> Richard (2007)

  8. Sorry, I am unaware about TiKz.

    If you know some coordinate geometry (school level is enough) you may try the pstricks package. You will obtain excellent tutorial from the website
