WordDefinition
supercombinatornoun(computer science) A mathematical expression which is fully bound and self-contained. It may be either a constant or a combinator where all the subexpressions are supercombinators.
combinatory logicnoun(computer science) Model of computation based on combinators.
lambda calculusnoun(computing theory) Any of a family of functionally complete algebraic systems in which lambda expressions are evaluated according to a fixed set of rules to produce values, which may themselves be lambda expressions.
closed formulanoun(logic) A formula which has no free occurrences of variables; or equivalently, in which all occurrences of variables are bound.
sentencenoun(grammar) A grammatically complete series of words consisting of a subject and predicate, even if one or the other is implied. In modern writing, when using e.g. the Latin, Greek or Cyrillic alphabets, typically beginning with a capital letter and ending with a full stop or other punctuation.
lambdanoun(physics, mathematics) Unit representation of wavelength.
lambda abstractionnoun(computing theory) A lambda term of the form (λx.t) where x is a variable and t another lambda term. Any free instance of x within t (considered by itself) then becomes bound by the λx. prefix. It is meant to represent an anonymous function.
lambda termnoun(computing theory) A well-formed formula in the language of a lambda calculus.
free variablenoun(mathematics, logic) A variable (occurring within some expression or well-formed formula) which is not bound by a quantifier or analogous symbol (such as a lambda abstractor, the "differential d" near the end of an integral or differential form, or a summation symbol).
nonexplosion(mathematics) The absence of combinatorial explosion
lambda functionnoun(programming) An anonymous function; a function that is defined in an inline, ad-hoc manner, and often doesn't have a name (not bound to an identifier).
combinatoristnounA mathematician who specializes in combinatorics.
combinatoriciannoun(rare) Synonym of combinatorist.
juxtapositionnounThe nearness of objects with little or no delimiter.
combinatoricistnoun(rare) Synonym of combinatorist.
monomenoun(mathematics, logic, computing) An expression with a single term, such as a product of numeric variables (with no addition) or a conjunction of possibly negated Boolean variables (with no disjunction).
indeterminateNot accurately determined or determinable.
eta conversionnoun(computing theory) One of the three rewrite rules of lambda calculus, which expresses a sort of tautology about function application. The rule says that a lambda abstraction of the form (λx.(fx)) may be rewritten as simply f, provided that x does not occur freely in f (considered by itself).
empty functionnoun(mathematics) A function whose domain is the empty set.
lambda expressionnounAn algebraic expression representing a function by binding one or more parameters to an expression which may contain those parameters.
