DEF

A function whose dependence on the independent variable or variables is determined by an algebraic equation.

CONT

An algebraic function is a function f(x) which satisfies p(x,f(x))=0, where p(x,y) is a polynomial in x and y with integer coefficients. Functions that can be constructed using only a finite number of elementary operations together with the inverses of functions capable of being so constructed are examples of algebraic functions.

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Programs and Programming
CONT

In computer programming, especially functional programming and type theory, an algebraic data type is a kind of composite type, i.e., a type formed by combining other types.

OBS

Two common classes of algebraic types are product types (i.e., tuples and records) and sum types (i.e., tagged or disjoint unions or variant types).

OBS

Not to be confused with "abstract data type."

French

Domaine(s)
  • Programmes et programmation (Informatique)
CONT

Le type algébrique [de données] est une forme de […] données composite, qui combine les fonctionnalités des types produits (n‐uplets ou enregistrements) et des types sommes (union disjointe). Combinée à la récursivité, [le type algébrique] permet d'exprimer les données structurées, telles que les listes et les arbres.

OBS

Ne pas confondre avec «type de données abstrait».

«Opérations» désigne, en termes de mathématiques, les supputations, les calculs par lesquels on part d'une quantité connue pour arriver à des quantités inconnues. L'addition, la soustraction, la multiplication et la division sont appelées les quatre opérations. Extraire la racine carrée d'un nombre est une opération arithmétique. On dit dans un sens analogue «opérations algébriques». La résolution d'une équation est une opération algébrique.

We can think of centers - attractors - which compete for influence on the plane: an initial point is driven by the process to one center or another, or it is on the boundary and cannot decide. If the parameter is changed, the regions belonging to the attractors change, and with them the boundaries. It can happen that the boundary falls to dust, and this decay is one of the most important scenarios.
