    A synonym for a function between sets or a morphism in a category. Depending on authors, the term "maps" or the term "functions" may be reserved for specific kinds of functions or morphisms (e.g., function as an analytic term and map as a general term). mathematics See mathematics. multivalued

  3. Similarity measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Similarity_measure

    In statistics and related fields, a similarity measure or similarity function or similarity metric is a real-valued function that quantifies the similarity between two objects. Although no single definition of a similarity exists, usually such measures are in some sense the inverse of distance metrics : they take on large values for similar ...

    A specific element x of X is a value of the variable, and the corresponding element of Y is the value of the function at x, or the image of x under the function. The image of a function, sometimes called its range, is the set of the images of all elements in the domain. [6] [7] [8] [9]

    Functional notation: if the first is the name (symbol) of a function, denotes the value of the function applied to the expression between the parentheses; for example, (), ⁡ (+). In the case of a multivariate function , the parentheses contain several expressions separated by commas, such as f ( x , y ) {\displaystyle f(x,y)} .

    Similarly, a sequence,, … is called superadditive if it satisfies the inequality + + for all and . The term "superadditive" is also applied to functions from a boolean algebra to the real numbers where P ( X ∨ Y ) ≥ P ( X ) + P ( Y ) , {\displaystyle P(X\lor Y)\geq P(X)+P(Y),} such as lower probabilities .

    A directed graph is called weakly connected if replacing all of its directed edges with undirected edges produces a connected (undirected) graph. weight A numerical value, assigned as a label to a vertex or edge of a graph. The weight of a subgraph is the sum of the weights of the vertices or edges within that subgraph. weighted graph

  9. Closure (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_(computer_programming)

    The term closure is often used as a synonym for anonymous function, though strictly, an anonymous function is a function literal without a name, while a closure is an instance of a function, a value, whose non-local variables have been bound either to values or to storage locations (depending on the language; see the lexical environment section below).
