Other Meanings of The Term
- The usage of generalized eigenfunction differs from this; it is part of the theory of rigged Hilbert spaces, so that for a linear operator on a function space this may be something different.
- One can also use the term generalized eigenvector for an eigenvector of the generalized eigenvalue problem

Famous quotes containing the words meanings and/or term:
“An amoeba is a formless thing which takes many shapes. It moves by thrusting out an arm, and flowing into the arm. It multiplies by pulling itself in two, without permanently diminishing the original. So with words. A meaning may develop on the periphery of the body of meanings associated with a word, and shortly this tentacle-meaning has grown to such proportions that it dwarfs all other meanings.”
—Charlton Laird (b. 1901)
“The term preschooler signals another change in our expectations of children. While toddler refers to physical development, preschooler refers to a social and intellectual activity: going to school. That shift in emphasis is tremendously important, for it is at this age that we think of children as social creatures who can begin to solve problems.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
