    The term cross-reference (abbreviation: xref) can refer to either: . An instance within a document which refers to related information elsewhere in the same document. In both printed and online dictionaries cross-references are important because they form a network structure of relations existing between different parts of data, dictionary-internal as well as dictionary external.

    In Example 1 (above), if one does not comprehend the definition of the word "spent," they will misunderstand the entire purpose of the word problem. This alludes to how the cognitive skills lead to the development of the mathematical concepts. Some of the related mathematical skills necessary for solving word problems are mathematical ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_undecidable_problems

    Many, if not most, undecidable problems in mathematics can be posed as word problems: determining when two distinct strings of symbols (encoding some mathematical concept or object) represent the same object or not. For undecidability in axiomatic mathematics, see List of statements undecidable in ZFC.

    The word problem for an algebra is then to determine, given two expressions (words) involving the generators and operations, whether they represent the same element of the algebra modulo the identities. The word problems for groups and semigroups can be phrased as word problems for algebras. [1]

    An addendum or appendix, in general, is an addition required to be made to a document by its author subsequent to its printing or publication. It comes from the gerundive addendum , plural addenda , "that which is to be added", from addere [ 1 ] ( lit.

  8. Word problem for groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_problem_for_groups

    The word problem is a well-known example of an undecidable problem. If A {\displaystyle A} is a finite set of generators for G {\displaystyle G} , then the word problem is the membership problem for the formal language of all words in A {\displaystyle A} and a formal set of inverses that map to the identity under the natural map from the free ...

    For example, the term glucose is likely to occur frequently in any document related to diabetes. Therefore, use of this term would likely return most or all the documents in the database. Post-coordinated indexing where terms are combined at the time of searching would reduce this effect but the onus would be on the searcher to link appropriate ...
