invariant meaning: definition, etymology and quotations

invariant

adj

Etymology From in- + variant.

Not varying; constant.

Mathematics, Sciences Unaffected by a specified operation, especially by a transformation.

The fundamental 2-tensor also leads to a new class of invariant linear differential operators that are canonically associated to these geometries; included is a third equation studied by Gallot et al. We apply the results to study the metrisability equation, in the nullity setting described.2015, A. Rod Gover, Vladimir S.

noun

Etymology From in- + variant.

In the present paper this criterion is reformulated in terms of pseudotensorial invariants of the form..2015, Ruslan Sharipov, “On positive bivariate quartic forms”, in arXiv:
