单词 | finite difference |
释义 | > as lemmasfinite difference 3. Mathematics. Of a line: Terminated. Of a quantity, number, distance: Limited, neither infinite nor infinitesimal. Of a group: Containing a limited number of substitutions. Of a solution: Resulting in a finite quantity. finite difference: a difference between two quantities that is finite; spec., any of the differences between the successive values of a function when its independent variable takes on the values of an arithmetical progression. finite points: such as are not at an infinite distance apart. finite series (see quot. c1865). finite state: used attributively in communication theory of any system limited to a finite number of alternative states, or of a type that, even if it contains an infinite number of parts, is producible by a generative device so limited.
