What is the correct type for sign(x)(signum function)?
I'm using:
\documentclass[journal,transmag]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\newcommand{\sign}{\text{sign}}
Is that correct or should I be using "sgn" instead?
[Tex/LaTex] the Latex convention for sign function?

I think you can type code like this
\documentclass[10pt, conference, compsocconf]{IEEEtran}
\begin{document}
\title{title}
\author{author1 & & author2 \\ & author3}
\maketitle
\end{document}
it will produce,
A minimal working example:
\documentclass{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{microtype}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\title{The title}
\author{You}
\begin{document}
\twocolumn[
\begin{@twocolumnfalse}
\maketitle
\end{@twocolumnfalse}
\begin{abstract}
~{\lipsum[1]\lipsum[1]}
\end{abstract}
\bigskip]
\section{Introduction}
\lipsum[1-7]
\end{document}
Note: For some reason \lipsum[1] inside the abstract environment must be enclosed with brackets and must be at least one character before (it can be be ~, but no a normal space), but nothing of this is needed for real text.
Best Answer
Whether you use “sign” or “sgn” is a style issue which your intended publisher can answer, not us. That said, you probably want to use AMSMath’s
\DeclareMathOperatornot\newcommand; see newcommand vs. DeclareMathOperator:(On the other hand, see \DeclareMathOperator won't take arguments for times to use
\newcommand, and how best to do so. As noted there, if you do define your own commands, use\operatornamenot\textto format the name.)
