Chemical decomposition, or chemical breakdown, is the process or effect of simplifying a single chemical entity (normal molecule, reaction intermediate, etc.) into two or more fragments. [1] Chemical decomposition is usually regarded and defined as the exact opposite of chemical synthesis .
Decomposition method is a generic term for solutions of various problems and design of algorithms in which the basic idea is to decompose the problem into subproblems. The term may specifically refer to:
In linear algebra, the Cholesky decomposition or Cholesky factorization (pronounced / ʃ ə ˈ l ɛ s k i / shə-LES-kee) is a decomposition of a Hermitian, positive-definite matrix into the product of a lower triangular matrix and its conjugate transpose, which is useful for efficient numerical solutions, e.g., Monte Carlo simulations.
Classically, these reactions result in the precipitation of one product. In older literature, the term double decomposition is common. The term double decomposition is more specifically used when at least one of the substances does not dissolve in the solvent , as the ligand or ion exchange takes place in the solid state of the reactant.
The divide-and-conquer paradigm is often used to find an optimal solution of a problem. Its basic idea is to decompose a given problem into two or more similar, but simpler, subproblems, to solve them in turn, and to compose their solutions to solve the given problem. Problems of sufficient simplicity are solved directly.
main definition: Thermal decomposition is the breakdown of a compound into two or more different substances using heat, and it is an endothermic reaction Examples [ edit ]
Decomposition method (disambiguation), solutions of various problems and design of algorithms; Functional decomposition, expressing a function as the composition of two functions; Semantic decomposition (natural language processing) Decompositions: Volume Number One, the second studio album by American screamo band Circle Takes the Square
