Structure de contrôleEn programmation informatique, une structure de contrôle est une instruction particulière d'un langage de programmation impératif pouvant dévier le flot de contrôle du programme la contenant lorsqu'elle est exécutée. Si, au plus bas niveau, l'éventail se limite généralement aux branchements et aux appels de sous-programme, les langages structurés offrent des constructions plus élaborées comme les alternatives (if, if–else, switch...), les boucles (while, do–while, for...) ou encore les appels de fonction.
RésolvanteIn mathematics, the resolvent formalism is a technique for applying concepts from complex analysis to the study of the spectrum of operators on Banach spaces and more general spaces. Formal justification for the manipulations can be found in the framework of holomorphic functional calculus. The resolvent captures the spectral properties of an operator in the analytic structure of the functional.
Lax pairIn mathematics, in the theory of integrable systems, a Lax pair is a pair of time-dependent matrices or operators that satisfy a corresponding differential equation, called the Lax equation. Lax pairs were introduced by Peter Lax to discuss solitons in continuous media. The inverse scattering transform makes use of the Lax equations to solve such systems. A Lax pair is a pair of matrices or operators dependent on time and acting on a fixed Hilbert space, and satisfying Lax's equation: where is the commutator.
