Iterated Function - Definitions in Terms of Iterated Functions

Definitions in Terms of Iterated Functions

Two important functionals can be defined in terms of iterated functions. These are Summation:

\left\{b+1,\sum_{i=a}^b g(i)\right\} \equiv \left( \{i,x\} \rightarrow \{ i+1 ,x+g(i) \}\right)^{b-a+1} \{a,0\}

and the equivalent product:

\left\{b+1,\prod_{i=a}^b g(i)\right\} \equiv \left( \{i,x\} \rightarrow \{ i+1 ,x g(i) \}\right)^{b-a+1} \{a,1\}

Famous quotes containing the words definitions, terms, iterated and/or functions:

    “Lord Byron is an exceedingly interesting person, and as such is it not to be regretted that he is a slave to the vilest and most vulgar prejudices, and as mad as the winds?
    There have been many definitions of beauty in art. What is it? Beauty is what the untrained eyes consider abominable.”
    —Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)

    “As poverty has been reduced in terms of mere survival, it has become more profound in terms of our way of life.”
    —Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)

    “The customary cry,
    ‘Come buy, come buy,’
    With its iterated jingle
    Of sugar-bated words:”
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    “In today’s world parents find themselves at the mercy of a society which imposes pressures and priorities that allow neither time nor place for meaningful activities and relations between children and adults, which downgrade the role of parents and the functions of parenthood, and which prevent the parent from doing things he wants to do as a guide, friend, and companion to his children.”
    —Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
