The limitation period generally begins when the plaintiff's cause of action accrues, meaning the date upon which the plaintiff is first able to maintain the cause of action in court, or when the plaintiff first becomes aware of a previous injury (for example, occupational lung diseases such as asbestosis).
In mathematics, specifically algebraic geometry, a period or algebraic period [1] is a complex number that can be expressed as an integral of an algebraic function over an algebraic domain. The periods are a class of numbers which includes, alongside the algebraic numbers, many well known mathematical constants such as the number π .
A nonzero constant P for which this is the case is called a period of the function. If there exists a least positive [2] constant P with this property, it is called the fundamental period (also primitive period, basic period, or prime period.) Often, "the" period of a function is used to mean its fundamental period.
Short prescription occurs where rights and obligations have a prescriptive period of 5 years. [19] The 1973 Act provides that monetary obligations (ie: the legal obligation to pay a sum of money to another under contract, delict or unjustified enrichment) are subject to a 5 year-prescriptive period. [19] [20] This includes: [20]
The smallest positive integer n satisfying the above is called the prime period or least period of the point x. If every point in X is a periodic point with the same period n, then f is called periodic with period n (this is not to be confused with the notion of a periodic function). If there exist distinct n and m such that
The same term can also be used more informally to refer to something "standard" or "classic". For example, one might say that Euclid's proof is the "canonical proof" of the infinitude of primes. There are two canonical proofs that are always used to show non-mathematicians what a mathematical proof is like:
