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:

    “What I do not like about our definitions of genius is that there is in them nothing of the day of judgment, nothing of resounding through eternity and nothing of the footsteps of the Almighty.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    “Ethical and cultural desegregation. It is a contradiction in terms to scream race pride and equality while at the same time spurning Negro teachers and self-association.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

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

    “Those things which now most engage the attention of men, as politics and the daily routine, are, it is true, vital functions of human society, but should be unconsciously performed, like the corresponding functions of the physical body.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
