ALGEBRAIC FUNCTIONとは 意味・読み方・使い方

名詞

algebraic function (複数形 algebraic functions)

1. (algebraic geometry) Informally, any function expressible using (only) the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and raising to a rational power; more precisely, any continuous function definable as the root of some polynomial equation.

   Quite often, algebraic functions are algebraic expressions using a finite number of terms and involving only the algebraic operations addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and raising to a fractional power. Some algebraic functions, however, cannot be expressed by such finite expressions.

   The value of an algebraic function at an algebraic number is always an algebraic number.

     Riemann provided a clear picture of many difficult topics. His most significant contribution, rather than his construction of a Riemann surface from an algebraic function, was to derive the existence of algebraic functions as he built his theory based on the concept of a Riemann surface.
