  2. Idempotence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idempotence

    Pressing the On button (green) is an idempotent operation, since it has the same effect whether done once or multiple times. Likewise, pressing Off is idempotent. Idempotence ( UK : / ˌ ɪ d ɛ m ˈ p oʊ t ən s / , [ 1 ] US : / ˈ aɪ d ə m -/ ) [ 2 ] is the property of certain operations in mathematics and computer science whereby they can ...

  3. Decomposition of a module - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decomposition_of_a_module

    Since a simple module is indecomposable, a semisimple decomposition is an indecomposable decomposition (but not conversely). If the endomorphism ring of a module is local, then, in particular, it cannot have a nontrivial idempotent: the module is indecomposable. Thus, a decomposition with local endomorphism rings is an indecomposable decomposition.

  4. Rounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding

    This variant of the round-to-nearest method is also called convergent rounding, statistician's rounding, Dutch rounding, Gaussian rounding, odd–even rounding, [6] or bankers' rounding. [ 7 ] This is the default rounding mode used in IEEE 754 operations for results in binary floating-point formats.

  5. Idempotent (ring theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idempotent_(ring_theory)

    An idempotent a + I in the quotient ring R / I is said to lift modulo I if there is an idempotent b in R such that b + I = a + I. An idempotent a of R is called a full idempotent if RaR = R. A separability idempotent; see Separable algebra. Any non-trivial idempotent a is a zero divisor (because ab = 0 with neither a nor b being zero, where b ...

  6. Side effect (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_effect_(computer_science)

    setx is idempotent because the second application of setx to 3 has the same effect on the system state as the first application: x was already set to 3 after the first application, and it is still set to 3 after the second application. A pure function is idempotent if it is idempotent in the mathematical sense. For instance, consider the ...

  7. HTTP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP

    In contrast, the methods POST, CONNECT, and PATCH are not necessarily idempotent, and therefore sending an identical POST request multiple times may further modify the state of the server or have further effects, such as sending multiple emails. In some cases this is the desired effect, but in other cases it may occur accidentally.

  8. Boolean ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_ring

    The maximal ring of quotients Q(R) (in the sense of Utumi and Lambek) of a Boolean ring R is a Boolean ring, since every partial endomorphism is idempotent. [ 6 ] Every prime ideal P in a Boolean ring R is maximal : the quotient ring R / P is an integral domain and also a Boolean ring, so it is isomorphic to the field F 2 , which shows the ...

  9. Idempotent analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idempotent_analysis

    In mathematical analysis, idempotent analysis is the study of idempotent semirings, such as the tropical semiring. The lack of an additive inverse in the semiring is compensated somewhat by the idempotent rule A ⊕ A = A {\displaystyle A\oplus A=A} .
