In game theory , a symmetric game is a game where the payoffs for playing a particular strategy depend only on the other strategies employed, not on who is playing them. If one can change the identities of the players without changing the payoff to the strategies, then a game is symmetric. Symmetry can come in different varieties. Ordinally symmetric games are games that are symmetric with respect to the ordinal structure of the payoffs. A game is quantitatively symmetric if and only if it is symmetric with respect to the exact payoffs.

However, many of the commonly studied 2x2 games are at least ordinally symmetric. The standard representations of game of chicken chicken , the Prisoner s Dilemma , and the Stag hunt are all symmetric games. Formally, in order for a 2x2 game to be symmetric, its payoff matrix must conform to the schema pictured to the right. The requirements for a game to be ordinally symmetric are weaker, there it need only be the case that the ordinal ranking of the payoffs conform to the schema on the right.

In combinatorics combinatorial mathematics , a symmetric design is a block design with equal numbers of points and blocks. Thus, it has the fewest possible blocks given the number of points by Fisher s inequality . They have also been referred to as projective designs ref name assmus or square designs . ref These alternatives have been used in an attempt to replace the term symmetric , since there is nothing symmetric in the usual meaning of the term about these designs. The use of projective is due to P.Dembowski Finite Geometries , Springer, 1968 in analogy with the most common example, projective planes, while square is due to P. Cameron Designs, Graphs, Codes and their Links , Cambridge, 1991 and captures the implication of v b on the incidence matrix. Neither term has caught on as a replacement and these designs are still universally referred to as symmetric . ref That is, a symmetric design is a v , b , r , k , design with b v and r k . Either of the latter two equations implies the other. In fact, the parameters of a symmetric design satisfy math lambda v 1 k k 1 . math Clearly, this imposes strong restrictions on v , so the number of points is far from arbitrary. The Bruck Ryser Chowla theorem gives necessary but not sufficient conditions. A theorem of Herbert Ryser Ryser gives a different combinatorial condition for an incidence structure to be symmetric. If X is a v element set the point set , and B is a v element class of k element subsets called blocks , and any two blocks have exactly points in common, then X, B is a symmetric design. ref harvnb Ryser 1963 loc pp. 102 104 ref Examples Examples include finite projective plane s 1 and biplane geometries 2 .

The case k 2, for example, is the symmetric square and denoted Sym sup 2 sup V . It has a universal property with respect to symmetric multilinear operators defined on V sup k sup . Distinction with symmetric tensors The symmetric algebra and symmetric tensor symmetric tensors are easily confused the symmetric algebra is a quotient of the tensor algebra, while the symmetric tensors are a subspace of the tensor algebra. The symmetric algebra must be a quotient to satisfy its universal property since every symmetric algebra is an algebra, the tensor algebra maps to the symmetric algebra . Conversely, symmetric tensors are defined as invariants given the natural action of the symmetric group on the tensor algebra, the symmetric tensors are the subspace on which the symmetric group acts trivially. Note that under the tensor product, symmetric tensors are not a subalgebra given vectors v and w , they are trivially symmetric 1 tensors, but math v otimes w math is not a symmetric 2 tensor.

In mathematics , the symmetric closure of a binary relation R on a Set mathematics set X is the smallest symmetric relation on X that contains R . For example, if X is a set of airports and xRy means there is a direct flight from airport x to airport y , then the symmetric closure of R is the relation there is a direct flight either from x to y or from y to x . Or, if X is the set of humans alive or dead and R is the relation parent of , then the symmetric closure of R is the relation x is a parent or a child of y .

In mathematics , the symmetric derivative is an Operator mathematics operation related to the ordinary derivative . It is defined as math lim h to 0 frac f x h f x h 2h . math A function is symmetrically differentiable at a point x if its symmetric derivative exists at that point. It can be shown that if a function is differentiable function differentiable at a point, it is also symmetrically differentiable, but the converse is not true. The best known example is the absolute value function f x x , which is not differentiable at x 0, but is symmetrically differentiable here with symmetric derivative 0. It can also be shown that the symmetric derivative at a point is the mean of the one sided derivatives at that point, if they both exist.

In mathematics , the term symmetric function can mean two different concepts. A symmetric function of n variables is one whose value at any n tuple of arguments is the same as its value at any permutation of that n tuple. While this notion can apply to any type of function whose n arguments live in the same set, it is most often used for polynomial function s, in which case these are the functions given by symmetric polynomials . There is very little systematic theory of symmetric non polynomial functions of n variables, so this sense is little used, except as a general definition. In algebra and in particular in algebraic combinatorics , the term symmetric function is often used instead to refer to elements of the ring of symmetric functions , where that ring is a specific limit of the rings of symmetric polynomials in n indeterminates, as n goes to infinity. This ring serves as universal structure in which relations between symmetric polynomials can be expressed in a way independent of the number n of indeterminates but its elements are neither polynomials nor functions . Among other things, this ring plays an important role in the representation theory of the symmetric group s. For these specific uses, see the corresponding articles the remainder of this article addresses general properties of symmetric functions in n variables. Symmetrization main Symmetrization Given any function f in n variables with values in an abelian group, a symmetric function can be constructed by summing values of f over all permutations of the arguments.

for scale symmetry Symmetry Scale symmetry and fractals In music , a symmetric scale is a music scale which equally divides the octave. ref name Slonimsky Nicolas Slonimsky Jul., 1946 . Untitled review of , p.469, The Musical Quarterly , Vol. 32, No. 3, pp. 465 470. ref The concept and term appears to have been introduced by Joseph Schillinger ref name Slonimsky and further developed by Nicolas Slonimsky as part of his famous Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns . In twelve tone equal temperament , the octave can only be equally divided into two, three, four, six, or twelve parts, which consequently may be filled in by adding the same exact interval or sequence of intervals to each resulting note called interpolation of notes ref cite book url http books.google.com books?id RiYPAAAACAAJ title Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns author Nicolas Slonimsky publisher Music Sales Corp.

As explained above, both are composed of repeating sub units within an octave. This property allows these scales to be transposition music transposed to other notes, yet retain exactly the same notes as the original scale Translational symmetry . This may be seen quite readily with the whole tone scale on C C, D, E, F music ... harmonic scale . Image Symmetric.svg thumb 400px Pitch constellation s of symmetric scales. Asymmetric scales are far more common than symmetric scales and this may be accounted for by the inability of symmetric scales to possess the property of uniqueness containing each interval class a unique number ... more details
update date November 2010 In computing , symmetric multiprocessing SMP involves a multiprocessor computer hardware architecture where two or more identical processors are connected to a single shared main memory and are controlled by a single OS instance. Most common multiprocessor systems today use an SMP architecture. In the case of Multi core computing multi core processors, the SMP architecture applies to the cores, treating them as separate processors. Processors may be interconnected using buses, crossbar switch es or on chip mesh networks. The bottleneck in the scalability of SMP using buses or crossbar switches is the bandwidth and power consumption of the interconnect among the various processors, the memory, and the disk arrays. Mesh architectures avoid these bottlenecks, and provide nearly linear scalability to much higher processor counts at the sacrifice of programmability blockquote Serious programming challenges remain with this kind of architecture because it requires two distinct modes of programming, one for the CPUs themselves and one for the interconnect between the CPUs. A single programming language would have to be able to not only partition the workload, but also comprehend the memory locality, which is severe in a mesh based architecture. ref cite journal ... papers 2009 multicore MulticoreDSPsForIEEESPMFinal.pdf ref blockquote A computer system that uses symmetric multiprocessing is called a Symmetric Multiprocessor symmetric multiprocessor or SMP Symmetric Multiprocessor System symmetric multiprocessor system SMP system . ref http publib.boulder.ibm.com ...
