T theory is a branch of discrete mathematics dealing with analysis of tree graph theory tree s and discrete metric spaces . General history As per Andreas Dress , T theory originated from a question raised by Manfred Eigen , a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry , in the late seventies. He was trying to fit twenty distinct transfer RNA t RNA molecule s of the Escherichia coli E. Coli bacterium into a tree. One of the most important concepts of T theory is the tight span of a metric space. If X is a metric space, the tight span T X of X is, up to isomorphism, the unique minimal injective metric space that contains X . John Isbell was the first to discover the tight span in 1964, which he called the injective envelope . Dress independently constructed the same construct, which he called the tight span. Application areas Phylogenetic analysis, which is used to create phylogenetic tree s. Online algorithm s k server problem k server problem Recent developments Bernd Sturmfels , Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at University of California, Berkeley Berkeley , and Josephine Yu classified six point metrics using T theory.

In abstract algebra , a Schreier domain is an integrally closed integral domain where every nonzero element is primal i.e., whenever x divides yz , x can be written as x x sub 1 sub x sub 2 sub so that x sub 1 sub divides y and x sub 2 sub divides z . An integral domain is said to be pre Schreier if every nonzero element is primal. A GCD domain is an example of a Schreier domain. The term Schreier domain was introduced by P. M. Cohn in 1960s. The term pre Schreier domain is due to Muhammad Zafrullah. In general, an irreducible element is primal if and only if it is a prime element . Consequently, in a Schreier domain, every irreducible is prime. In particular, an atomic domain atomic Schreier domain is a unique factorization domain this generalizes the fact that an atomic GCD domain is a UFD.

A problem domain is simply looking at only the topics you are interested in, and excluding everything else. For example, if you were developing a system trying to measure good practice in medicine, you wouldn t include carpet drawings at hospitals in your problem domain. In this example the domain refers to relevant topics solely within your interest medicine.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 In the formal sciences , the domain of discourse , also called the universe of discourse or simply universe , is the set mathematics set of entities over which certain variable mathematics variable s of interest in some formal treatment may range. The domain of discourse is usually identified in the preliminaries, so that there is no need in the further treatment to specify each time the range of the relevant variables. For example, in an interpretation logic interpretation of first order logic , the domain of discourse is the set of individuals that the quantifier s range over. In one interpretation, the domain of discourse could be the set of real number s in another interpretation, it could be the set of natural number s. If no domain of discourse has been identified, a proposition such as math x x sup 2 sup 2 is ambiguous. If the domain of discourse is the set of real numbers, the proposition is false, with math 1 x 2 as counterexample if the domain is the set of naturals, the proposition is true, since 2 is not the square of any natural number. The term universe of discourse generally refers to the collection of objects being discussed in a specific discourse. In model theoretical semantics, a universe of discourse is the set of entities that a model is based on. The term universe of discourse is generally attributed to Augustus De Morgan 1846 and was also used by George Boole 1854 in his The Laws of Thought Laws of Thought .

In social choice theory , unrestricted domain , or universality , is a property of social welfare functions in which all preferences of all voters but no other considerations are allowed. Intuitively, unrestricted domain is a common requirement for social choice functions, and is a condition for Arrow s impossibility theorem . With unrestricted domain, the social welfare function accounts for all preferences among all voters to yield a unique and complete ranking of societal choices. Thus, the voting mechanism must account for all individual preferences, it must do so in a manner that results in a complete ranking of preferences for society, and it must deterministically provide the same ranking each time voters preferences are presented the same way. Relation to Arrow s impossibility theorem Unrestricted domain is one of the conditions for Arrow s impossibility theorem. Under that theorem, it is impossible to have a social choice function that satisfies unrestricted domain , Pareto efficiency , independence of irrelevant alternatives , and non dictatorship . However, the conditions of the theorem can be satisfied if unrestricted domain is removed. Examples of restricted domains Duncan Black defined a restriction to domains of social choice functions called single peaked preferences . Under this principle, all of the choices have a predetermined position along a line, giving them a linear ordering. Every voter has some special place she likes best along that line. Her ordering of the choices is determined by their distances from that spot. For example, if voting on where to set the volume for music, it would be reasonable to assume that each voter had their own ideal volume preference and that as the volume got progressively too loud or too quiet they would be increasingly dissatisfied.

An oscilloscope is a tool commonly used to visualize real world signals in the time domain. Speaking non technically, a time domain graph shows how a signal changes over time, whereas a frequency domain graph shows how much of the signal lies within each given frequency band over a range of frequencies. Origin of term The use of the contrasting terms time domain and frequency domain developed in US communication engineering in the 1950s and early 1960s, with the terms appearing together in 1961. ref http jeff560.tripod.com t.html Earliest Known Uses of Some of the Words of Mathematics T , Jeff Miller, March 25, 2009 ref ref citation first W.

Refimprove date April 2011 Domain specificity is a theoretical position in cognitive science especially modern cognitive development that argues that many aspects of cognition are supported by specialized, presumably evolutionarily specified, learning devices.
