Ibid., If, however, certain further relations obtain between the coefficients of F, the canonical form reappears catalectically, the function becoming in fact representable as a single cube. 1852Ibid. 293, I shall hereafter refer to a determinant formed in this manner from the coefficients of f as its catalecticant. 1860Cayley Coll. Math. Papers (1891) IV. 606 The name catalecticant denotes a certain invariant of a binary quantic of an even order. |
