The location of "respectively"

English Language & Usage Asked by Wang Yanping on November 5, 2020

I want to combine two sentences:

where upper(A) is the upper bound of A when (34), (35), and (39) are satisfied and upper(B) is the upper bound of B when (34), (35), and (39) are satisfied.

I rewrite it as:

where upper(A) and upper(B) are the upper bounds of A and B when (34), (35), and (39) are satisfied, respectively.

Is this expression (especially the location of “respectively”) right?
Thank you very much!

One Answer

The meaning with your sentence is : upper(A) and upper(B) are upper bounds of A when 34 and 35 are satisfied and upper(A) and upper(B) are upper bounds of B when 39 is satisfied

IMO, it should be where upper(A) and upper(B) are the upper bounds of A and B, respectively, when (34), (35), and (39) are satisfied.
