In approximate arithmetic, such as floating-point arithmetic, the distributive property of multiplication (and division) over addition may fail because of the limitations of arithmetic precision. For example, the identity 1 / 3 + 1 / 3 + 1 / 3 = ( 1 + 1 + 1 ) / 3 {\displaystyle 1/3+1/3+1/3=(1+1+1)/3} fails in decimal arithmetic , regardless of ...
2.1 Distributive properties. ... The generalization of the dot product formula to Riemannian manifolds is a defining property of a Riemannian connection, ...
such that one of these properties suffices to define distributivity for lattices. Typical examples of distributive lattice are totally ordered sets, Boolean algebras, and Heyting algebras. Every finite distributive lattice is isomorphic to a lattice of sets, ordered by inclusion (Birkhoff's representation theorem).
The simplest non-distributive lattices are M 3, the "diamond lattice", and N 5, the "pentagon lattice". A lattice is distributive if and only if none of its sublattices is isomorphic to M 3 or N 5; a sublattice is a subset that is closed under the meet and join operations of the original lattice. Note that this is not the same as being a subset ...
A completely distributive lattice L is called the free completely distributive lattice over a poset C if and only if there is an order embedding: such that for every completely distributive lattice M and monotonic function:, there is a unique complete homomorphism: satisfying =.
This article lists mathematical properties and laws of sets, involving the set-theoretic operations of union, intersection, and complementation and the relations of set equality and set inclusion. It also provides systematic procedures for evaluating expressions, and performing calculations, involving these operations and relations.
Distributive may refer to: Distributive property , in algebra, logic and mathematics Distributive pronoun and distributive adjective (determiner), in linguistics
The principle of distributivity states that the algebraic distributive law is valid, where both logical conjunction and logical disjunction are distributive over each other so that for any propositions A, B and C the equivalences
