形容詞

isomorphic (not comparable)

1. (mathematics) Related by an isomorphism; having a structure-preserving one-to-one correspondence.
   • 2003, Bernd Siegfried Walter Schröder, Ordered Sets: An Introduction page 254

     Let A, B be the ordered sets in Figure 10.3. Let C be the direct product of infinitely many copies of the two element chain 2. Then A^C is isomorphic to B^C, but A is not isomorphic to B.

2. (biology) Having a similar structure or function to something that is not related genetically or through evolution.
   • 1993, Marcus Jacobson, Foundations of Neuroscience, page 106:

     The fact that different structures can be shown to be functionally isomorphic implies that they are analogous, not homologous.

3. Having identical relevant structure; being structure-preserving while undergoing certain invertible transformations.
   • 1981, John Lyons, Language and Linguistics: An Introduction, page 60:

     For example, in so far as written and spoken English are isomorphic (i.e. have the same structure), they are the same language: there is nothing but their structure that they have in common.

使用する際の注意点

• In mathematics, this adjective can be used in phrases like "A and B are isomorphic", "A is isomorphic to B", and, less commonly, "A is isomorphic with B".
