<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <div1 id="cedef" role="appendixc"> <head>Content Element Definitions</head>  <div2 id="cedef_about"> <head>About Content Markup Elements</head> The primary role of MathML content elements is to provide a mechanism for recording that a particular notational structure has a particular mathematical meaning. To this end, every content element must have a mathematical definition associated with it in some form. The purpose of this appendix is to provide <emph>default</emph> definitions. (An index to the definitions is provided later in this document.) Authors may adapt the notation to their own particular needs by using mechanisms provided to override these default definitions for selected content elements. The mathematical definitions below are not restricted to any one format. There are several reasons for allowing this, nearly all derived from the fact that if it is extremely important to allow authors to make use of existing definitions from the mathematical literature. <olist> <item> There is no suitable notation in common use. For example, the mathematical libraries of even the most extensive mathematical computation systems in use today capture only a small fraction of the mathematical literature and furthermore much of mathematics is not computational. </item> <item> In most cases, the translation of a mathematical definition into a new notation is an inappropriate use of an author's energy and time. </item> <item> The task of designing a new machine readable language suitable for recording semantic descriptions is one that goes substantially beyond the scope of this particular recommendation. It would also overlap substantially with the efforts of such groups as the OpenMath Consortium (see also the North American OpenMath Initiative, and the European OpenMath Consortium). </item> </olist> The key issues for both archival and computational purposes are that there be a definition and that the author have a mechanism to specify which definition is intended for a given instance of a notational construct. This requirement is important whether or not there is an implementation of a particular concept or object in a mathematical computation system. The definition may be as vague as claiming that, say, <mi>F</mi> is an unknown but differentiable function from the real numbers to the real numbers, or as complicated as requiring that <mi>F</mi> be an elaborate function or operation as defined in a specific research paper. The important thing is that the reader always have a way of determining how the notation is being used. <div3> <head>The Default Definitions</head> An author's decision to use content elements is a decision to used defined objects. To make this easier, default definitions are provided. In this way, an author need only provide explicit definitions where the usage differs from the default. Where possible the default definitions have naturally been chosen to reflect common usage. Definitions are overridden in a particular instance by making use of the <kw role="attrib">definitionURL</kw> attribute. The value of this attribute is a URI (notwithstanding its old-style name) and beyond that its format is unspecified. It may even be the case that the <kw role="attrib">definitionURL</kw>'s value is just a name invented by the author. In that case it serves to warn the reader (and computational systems) that the author is using a private local definition. It may be the URL of a mathematical paper, or a reference to a traditional source in which the construct is defined. If the author's mathematical operator matches exactly an operator in a particular computational system, an appropriate definition might use a MathML <kw role="element">semantics</kw> element to establish a correspondence between two encodings. Whatever format is chosen, the only requirement is that some sort of definition be indicated. This rest of this appendix provides detailed descriptions of the default semantics associated with each of the MathML content elements. Since this is exactly the role intended for the encodings under development by the OpenMath Consortium, and one of our goals is to foster cooperation in such standardization efforts we have presented the default definitions in a format modeled on OpenMath's <emph>content dictionaries</emph>. While the actual details differ somewhat from the OpenMath specification, the underlying principles are the same. Several of the definitions provided here refer to one or more of the standard mathematical references Abramowitz and Stegun <bibref ref="Abramowitz1997"/> and Standard Mathematical Tables and Formulae <bibref ref="Zwillinger1988"/>.  </div3> <div3> <head>The Structure of an MMLdefinition.</head> In the XML source for this appendix each MathML element is described using an XML vocabulary designed for the purpose. However, though well adapted to machine processing the XML form of the definitions is difficult to read for humans. Therefore the text below is composed in a way automatically derived by XSL transformations (and typesetting in the case of the PDF versions of the MathML specification) from the XML source, but formatted so that it is much easier to read and comprehend. The conventions employed will be explained just below in the course of going through the elements of the XML markup in the XML source. The first example definition, but only that one, will be provided in both the more legible form and in raw XML, so the difference can be appreciated. The top element is <kw role="element">MMLdefinition</kw>. The sub-elements identify the various parts of the description and include: <glist> <gitem> <label>name</label> <def> <kw>PCDATA</kw> providing the name of the MathML element. </def> </gitem> <gitem> <label>description</label> <def> A CDATA description of the object that an element represents. This will often reference more traditional texts or papers or existing papers on the Web. </def> </gitem> <gitem> <label>classification</label> <def> Each MathML element must be classified according to its mathematical role.  <glist> <gitem> <label>punctuation</label> <def> Some elements exist simply as an aid to parsing. For example the <kw role="element">sep</kw> element is used to separate the <kw>CDATA</kw> defining a rational number into two parts in a manner that is easily parsed by an XML application. These objects are referred to as <emph>punctuation</emph>. </def> </gitem> <gitem> <label>descriptor</label> <def> Some elements exist simply to modify the properties of an existing element or mathematical object. For example the <kw role="element">declare</kw> construct is used to reset the default attribute values, or to associate a name with a specific instance of an object. These kinds of elements are referred to as <emph>descriptors</emph> and the type of the resulting object is the same as that of element being modified, but with the new attribute values. </def> </gitem> <gitem> <label>function (operator)</label> <def> The traditional mathematical functions and operators are represented in MathML by empty XML elements such as <kw role="element">plus</kw> and <kw role="element">sin</kw>. These <emph>function</emph> definitions are parameterized by their XML attribute values (for example, they may be of type vector) and are either used as is, for example when discussing the properties of a particular function or operator, or they are <emph>applied</emph> to arguments using <kw role="element">apply</kw>. The latter case is referred to as function application. Functions are often classified according to how they are used. For example the <kw role="element">plus</kw> element is an <emph>n-ary</emph> operator. This additional information is captured by the signature. The <emph>signature</emph> of a function (see below) describes how it is to be used a mathematical function inside an <kw role="element">apply</kw> element. Each combination of types of function arguments used inside an <kw role="element">apply</kw> gives rise to an <kw role="element">apply</kw> element of a given type. </def> </gitem> <gitem> <label>constant</label> <def> Mathematical constants are generally represented by empty elements and are distinguished from functions by the fact that they are not used as the first argument of an apply. Their signature is simply the type of the object they represent. </def> </gitem> <gitem> <label>constructor</label> <def> The remaining objects that <quote>contain</quote> sub-elements are all object <emph>constructors</emph> of some sort or another. They combine the sub-elements into a compound mathematical object such as a constant, set, list, or a function application. For example, the <kw role="element">lambda</kw> element <emph>constructs</emph> a function definition from a list of variables and an expression. while the <kw role="element">apply</kw> element constructs a <emph>function application.</emph> By <emph>function application</emph> we mean the result of applying the first element of the apply (the function) to the zero or more remaining elements (the arguments). A <emph>function application</emph> represents an object in the range of the function. For each given combination of type and order of XML children, the signature of a constructor indicates the type (and sometimes subtype) of the resulting object. </def> </gitem> </glist>  </def> </gitem> <gitem> <label>MMLattribute</label> <def> Some of the XML attributes of a MathML content element have a direct impact on the mathematical semantics of the object. For example the <kw role="attrib">type</kw> attribute of the <kw role="element">cn</kw> element is used to determine what type of constant (integer, real, etc.) is being constructed. Only those attributes that affect the mathematical properties of an object are listed here and typically these also appear explicitly in the signature. </def> </gitem> <gitem> <label>signature</label> <def> The signature is a systematic representation that associates the types of different possible combinations of attributes and function arguments to type of mathematical object that is constructed. The possible combinations of parameter and argument types (the left-hand side) each result in an object of some type (the right-hand side). In effect, it describes how to resolve operator overloading. For constructors, the left-hand side of the signature describes the types of the child elements and the right-hand side describes the type of object that is constructed. For functions, the left-hand side of the signature indicates the types of the parameters and arguments that would be expected when it is applied, or used to construct a relation, and the right-hand side represents the mathematical type of the object constructed by the <kw role="element">apply</kw>. Modifiers modify the attributes of an existing object. For example, a <emph>symbol</emph> might become a <emph>symbol of type vector</emph>. The signature must be able to record specific attribute values and argument types on the left, and parameterized types on the right.. The syntax used for signatures is of the general form: <eg><![CDATA[ [<attribute name>=<attribute-value>]( <list of argument types> ) --> <mathematical result type>(<mathematical subtype>) ]]></eg> The MMLattributes, if any, appear in the form <code><name>=<value></code>. They are separated notationally from the rest of the arguments by square brackets. The possible values are usually taken from an enumerated list, and the signature is usually affected by selection of a specific value. For the actual function arguments and named parameters on the left, the focus is on the mathematical types involved. The function argument types are presented in a syntax similar to that used for a DTD, with the one main exception. The types of the named parameters appear in the signature as <code><![CDATA[<elementname>=<type>]]></code> in a manner analogous for that used for attribute values. For example, if the argument is named (e.g. <kw role="element">bvar</kw>) then it is represented in the signature by an equation as in: <eg><![CDATA[ [<attribute name>=<attributevalue>]( bvar=symbol,<argument list> ) --> <mathematical result type>(<mathematical subtype>) ]]></eg> There is no formal type system in MathML. The type values that are used in the signatures are common mathematical types such as integer, rational, real, complex (such as found in the description of <kw role="element">cn</kw>), or a name such as string or the name of a MathML constructor. Various collections of types such as <emph>anything</emph>, <emph>matrixtype</emph> are used from time to time. The type name <emph>mmlpresentation</emph> is used to represent any valid MathML presentation object and the name <emph>MathMLtype</emph> is used to describe the collection of all MathML types. The type <emph>algebraic</emph> is used for expressions constructed from one or more symbols through arithmetic operations and <emph>interval-type</emph> refers to the valid types of intervals as defined in chapter 4. The collection of types is not closed. Users writing their own definitions of new constructs may introduce new types. Depending on the types involved, more than one signature may apply. For example, many arithmetic operations involving integers map to integers, but since integers are real numbers, the signature for real numbers also is valid. Generally, the signature providing the most information is most appropriate. No mathematical evaluation ever takes place in MathML. Every MathML content element either refers to a defined object such as a mathematical function or it combines such objects in some way to build a new object. For purposes of the signature, the constructed object represents an object of a certain type parameterized type. For example the result of applying <kw role="element">plus</kw> to arguments is an expression that represents a sum. The type of the resulting expression depends on the types of the operands, and the values of the MathML attributes. </def> </gitem> <gitem> <label>example</label> <def> Examples of the use of this object in MathML are included in these elements. </def> </gitem> <gitem> <label>property</label> <def> This element describes the mathematical properties of such objects. For simple associations of values with specific instances of an object, the first child is an instance of the object being defined. The second is a <kw role="element">value</kw> or <kw role="element">approx</kw> (approximation) element that contains a MathML description of this particular value. More elaborate conditions on the object are expressed using the MathML syntax. </def> </gitem> <gitem> <label>comment</label> <def> These elements contain only PCDATA and can occur as a child of the MMLdefinition at any point. </def> </gitem> </glist> </div3> </div2> <div2 id="cedef_def"> <head>Definitions of MathML Content Elements</head> <div3 id="cedef_Token_Elements"> <head>Token Elements</head> <MMLdefinition id="cedef_cn"> <name>cn</name> <description> The cn element is used to encode numerical constants. The mathematical type of number is given as an attribute. The default type is "real". Numbers such as floating-point, rational and complex, require two parts for a complete specification. The parts of such a number are separated by an empty sep element. Many of the commonly occurring numeric constants such as <kw role="entity">pi</kw> have their own elements. </description> <classification> constant </classification> <MMLattribute> <attname>definitionURL</attname> <attvalue>URI identifying the definition</attvalue> <attdefault>APPENDIX_C</attdefault> </MMLattribute> <MMLattribute> <attname>encoding</attname> <attvalue>CDATA</attvalue> <attdefault>MathML</attdefault> </MMLattribute> <MMLattribute> <attname> type </attname> <attvalue> integer | rational | complex-cartesian | complex-polar | real | floating-point | MathMLtype </attvalue> <attdefault> real </attdefault> </MMLattribute> <MMLattribute> <attname> base </attname> <attvalue> integer between 2 and 36 </attvalue> <attdefault> 10 </attdefault> </MMLattribute> <signature> [type=integer](numstring) -> constant(integer) </signature> <signature> [base=base-value](numstring) -> constant(integer) </signature> <signature> [type=rational](numstring,numstring) -> constant(rational) </signature> <signature> [type=complex-cartesian](numstring,numstring) -> constant(complex) </signature> <signature> [type=rational](numstring,numstring) -> constant(rational) </signature> <signature> [definitionURL=definition](numstring*) -> constant(user-defined) </signature> <property><![CDATA[<apply><eq/><cn base="16"> A </cn><cn> 10 </cn></apply>]]></property> <property><![CDATA[<apply><eq/><cn base="16"> B </cn><cn> 11 </cn></apply>]]></property> <property><![CDATA[<apply><eq/><cn base="16"> C </cn><cn> 12 </cn></apply>]]></property> <property><![CDATA[<apply><eq/><cn base="16"> D </cn><cn> 13 </cn></apply>]]></property> <property><![CDATA[<apply><eq/><cn base="16"> E </cn><cn> 14 </cn></apply>]]></property> <property><![CDATA[<apply><eq/><cn base="16"> F </cn><cn> 15 </cn></apply>]]></property> <example><![CDATA[<cn> 245 </cn>]]></example> <example><![CDATA[<cn type="integer"> 245 </cn>]]></example> <example><![CDATA[<cn type="integer" base="16"> A </cn>]]></example> <example><![CDATA[<cn type="rational"> 245 <sep/> 351 </cn>]]></example> <example><![CDATA[<cn type="complex-cartesian"> 1 <sep/> 2 </cn>]]></example> <example><![CDATA[<cn> 245 </cn>]]></example> <example><![CDATA[<apply><eq/> <cn type="e-notation"> 2 <sep/> 5 </cn> <apply><times/><cn>2</cn><apply><power/><cn>10</cn><cn>5</cn></apply></apply> </apply>]]></example> </MMLdefinition> <MMLdefinition id="cedef_ci"> <name>ci</name> <description> This element constructs an identifier (symbolic name).

The lambda function can be viewed as the inverse of function application. For example, Lambda( x, F ) is written as \lambda x [F] in the lambda calculus literature. The expression F may contain x but the full lambda expression is regarded to be free of x. A computational application receiving a MathML lambda expression should not evaluate x or test for x. Such an application may apply the lambda expression as a function to arguments in which case any result that is computed is computed through parameter substitutions into F.

The result is a new function whose domain is the domain of the first function and whose range is the range of the last function and whose definition is equivalent to applying each function to the previous outcome in turn as in: (f @ g )( x ) == f( g(x) ). This function is often denoted by a small circle infix operator. </description> <classification>function</classification> <MMLattribute> <attname>definitionURL</attname> <attvalue> a URI identifying the definition </attvalue> <attdefault>APPENDIX_C</attdefault> </MMLattribute> <MMLattribute> <attname>encoding</attname> <attvalue> CDATA </attvalue> <attdefault>MathML</attdefault> </MMLattribute> <signature> (function*) -> function </signature> <property> <description> ForAll(x, (f@g)(x) = f(g(x)) </description><![CDATA[ <apply><forall/> <bvar><ci>x</ci></bvar><bvar><ci>f</ci></bvar><bvar><ci>g</ci></bvar> <apply><eq/> <apply><apply><compose/><ci>f</ci><ci>g</ci></apply> <ci>x</ci> </apply> <apply><ci>f</ci><apply><ci>g</ci><ci>x</ci></apply></apply> </apply> </apply> ]]></property> <example> <description> The use of fn is deprecated.

The arguments are either all data, or a discrete random variable, or a continuous random variable. For numeric data at least two values are required and this is the square root of (the sum of the squares of the deviations from the mean of the arguments, divided by the number of arguments less one). For a "discrete_random_variable", this is the square root of the second moment about the mean. This further generalizes to identifiers of type continuous_random_variable.

Unless otherwise specified, the moment is about the origin. For example, the i'th moment of X about the origin is given by moment( 0 , i , x ). The first argument specifies the point about which the moment is computed. It is either an actual point ( e.g. 0 ), or a function which can be used on the data to compute that point. To indicate a central moment, specify the element "mean". The second argument indicates which moment about that point is being specified. For the i'th moment the second argument should be i. The third argument is either a discrete or continuous random variable, or the start of a sequence of data. If there is a sequence of data then the i'th moment is (1/n) (x_1^i + x_2^i + ... + x_n^i). The use of of a degree to indicate the order of the moment has been deprecated.
