Réseau (géométrie)En mathématiques, un réseau d'un espace (vectoriel) euclidien est un sous-groupe discret de l’espace, de rang fini n. Par exemple, les vecteurs de Rn à coordonnées entières dans une base forment un réseau de Rn. Cette notion permet de décrire mathématiquement des maillages, comme celui correspondant à la figure 1. thumb|Fig. 1. Un réseau est un ensemble discret disposé dans un espace vectoriel réel de dimension finie de manière régulière, au sens où la différence de deux éléments du réseau est encore élément du réseau.
Expression (mathématiques)In mathematics, an expression or mathematical expression is a finite combination of symbols that is well-formed according to rules that depend on the context. Mathematical symbols can designate numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping to help determine order of operations and other aspects of logical syntax. Many authors distinguish an expression from a formula, the former denoting a mathematical object, and the latter denoting a statement about mathematical objects.
Objective-collapse theoryObjective-collapse theories, also known as models of spontaneous wave function collapse or dynamical reduction models, are proposed solutions to the measurement problem in quantum mechanics. As with other theories called interpretations of quantum mechanics, they are possible explanations of why and how quantum measurements always give definite outcomes, not a superposition of them as predicted by the Schrödinger equation, and more generally how the classical world emerges from quantum theory.
SemilatticeIn mathematics, a join-semilattice (or upper semilattice) is a partially ordered set that has a join (a least upper bound) for any nonempty finite subset. Dually, a meet-semilattice (or lower semilattice) is a partially ordered set which has a meet (or greatest lower bound) for any nonempty finite subset. Every join-semilattice is a meet-semilattice in the inverse order and vice versa.
