Consider the function . The values 0 and 1 are fixed points of this function, because and . This function has no other fixed points. A fixed point combinator need not exist for all functions.

CentralNotice From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation , search In mathematical logic , the De Bruijn index is a notation invented by the Dutch mathematician Nicolaas Govert de Bruijn for representing terms in the λ calculus with the purpose of eliminating the names of the variable from the notation. [ 1 ] Terms written using these indices are invariant with respect to α conversion , so the check for α-equivalence is the same as that for syntactic equality. Each De Bruijn index is a natural number that represents an occurrence of a variable in a λ-term, and denotes the number of binders that are in scope between that occurrence and its corresponding binder. The following are some examples: The term λ x . λ y . x , sometimes called the K combinator , is written as λ λ 2 with De Bruijn indices. The binder for the occurrence x is the second λ in scope.

The term "rng" (pronounced rung ) is meant to suggest that it is a "ring" without "i", i.e. without the requirement for an "identity element". There is no consensus in the community as to whether the existence of a multiplicative identity must be one of the ring axioms (see the history section of the article on rings ). The term "rng" was coined to alleviate this ambiguity when people want to refer explicitly to a ring without the axiom of multiplicative identity. A number of algebras of functions considered in analysis are not unital, for instance the algebra...

Loudness compensation is a setting found on some hi-fi equipment and equalisers that increases the level of the high and low frequencies . [ 1 ] This is intended to be used at low listening levels, to compensate for the fact that as the volume of audio decreases, the ear 's lower sensitivity to extreme high and low frequencies may cause these signals to fall below threshold . [ 2 ] As a result audio material may seem to become 'thin' sounding at low volumes, losing bass and treble, the 'Loudness compensation' button (often just labelled 'Loudness' or 'Loud') is intended to rectify this situation. See the section on Loudness for a more detailed explanation of the ears' sensitivity to sound as a function of frequency. Loudness compensa...

The function has the property of being continuous everywhere but differentiable nowhere. It is named after its discoverer Karl Weierstrass .

In type theory, every "term" has a "type" and operations are restricted to terms of a certain type. Type theory is closely related to (and in some cases overlaps with) type systems , which are a programming language feature used to reduce bugs . The types of type theory were created to avoid paradoxes in a variety of formal logics and rewrite systems and sometimes "type theory" is used to refer to this broader application.
