Invariant Work Rate
Invariant and invariance may refer to: Computer science * Invariant (computer science), an expression whose value doesn't change during program execution ** Loop invariant, a property of a program loop that is true before (and after) each iteration * A data type in method overriding that is neither covariant nor contravariant * Class invariant, an invariant used to constrain objects of a class Physics, mathematics, and statistics * Invariant (mathematics), a property of a mathematical object that is not changed by a specific operation or transformation ** Rotational invariance, the property of function whose value does not change when arbitrary rotations are applied to its argument ** Scale invariance, a property of objects or laws that do not change if scales of length, energy, or other variables, are multiplied by a common factor ** Topological invariant * Invariant (physics), something does not change under a transformation, such as from one reference frame to another * ...

Invariant (computer Science)
In mathematics, an invariant is a property of a mathematical object (or a class of mathematical objects) which remains unchanged after operations or transformations of a certain type are applied to the objects. The particular class of objects and type of transformations are usually indicated by the context in which the term is used. For example, the area of a triangle is an invariant with respect to isometries of the Euclidean plane. The phrases "invariant under" and "invariant to" a transformation are both used. More generally, an invariant with respect to an equivalence relation is a property that is constant on each equivalence class. Invariants are used in diverse areas of mathematics such as geometry, topology, algebra and discrete mathematics. Some important classes of transformations are defined by an invariant they leave unchanged. For example, conformal maps are defined as transformations of the plane that preserve angles. The discovery of invariants is an important s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
