It generally just bounds it with an estimate ( whose computed value depends on the choice of the norm to measure the inaccuracy ).

Of course, this definition depends on the choice of norm:

Although the fundamental group in general depends on the choice of base point, it turns out that, up to isomorphism ( actually, even up to inner isomorphism ), this choice makes no difference as long as the space X is path-connected.

Also, it makes the concept of " provability " and thus of " theorem ", a clear concept that only depends on the chosen system of axioms of the theory, and not on the choice of a proof system.

Any greater precision depends more on choice of standard than on more careful measurement: the length of the equator in the World Geodetic System WGS-84 is 40, 075, 016. 6856 m which makes the geographical mile 1855. 3248 m, while the International Astronomical Union standard IAU-2000 takes the equator to be 40, 075, 035. 5351 m making the geographical mile 1855. 3257 m, almost a millimetre longer.

If there is more than one allograph of a unit of writing, and the choice between them depends on context or on the preference of the author, they now have to be treated as separate glyphs, because mechanical arrangements have to be available to differentiate between them and to print whichever of them is required.

For most types of hashing functions the choice of the function depends strongly on the nature of the input data, and their probability distribution in the intended application.

The state variable S may be a 32-or 64-bit unsigned integer ; in that case, S0 can be 0, and G ( S, n ) can be just S mod n. The best choice of F is a complex issue and depends on the nature of the data.

The extension ψ is in general not uniquely specified by φ, and the proof gives no explicit method as to how to find ψ: in the case of an infinite dimensional space V, it depends on Zorn's lemma, one formulation of the axiom of choice.

Fromm also described Love as a conscious choice that in its early stages might originate as an involuntary feeling, but which then later no longer depends on those feelings, but rather depends only on conscious commitment.

But the choice of data structure depends also on the maximum number of tasks that can be on the ready list.

Numerical determination of rank requires a criterion for deciding when a value, such as a singular value from the SVD, should be treated as zero, a practical choice which depends on both the matrix and the application.

However, the decomposition of a vector into components is not unique, because it depends on the choice of the axes on which the vector is projected.

The possibility of doing so depends on the seats in the coaches being already numbered ( alternatively, the hotel manager must have the axiom of countable choice at his or her disposal ).

The choice and sequence of rotation crops depends on the nature of the soil, the climate, and precipitation which together determine the type of plants that may be cultivated.

Rather, the choice of a specific treatment depends on the patient's diagnosis, medical and psychiatric history, and preferences, as well as the expertise of the treating clinician.

The choice of procedure depends on:

An ecovillage's organization usually depends upon some instructional capital or moral codes-a minimal civics sometimes characterized as eco-anarchism, which involves local purchasing so as to support the local economy ; local food production and distribution ; moral purchasing to avoid objectionable consumption ; consensus decision-making for governance and a choice to respect diversity.

Leaving aside the choice of unilateral cessation of tests as neither sane nor clearly moral, the question must arise as to why resumption of atmospheric tests on our part would not be a good choice.

The inner panels do not have to be weatherproof, and the choice will depend on the quality of finish desired.

Poster Products Inc., Chicago, Ill.: a changeable copy and display sign which consists of an extruded impact styrene background in choice of colors, onto which are mounted snap-in letters, figures, or words screened on acetate or other types of sheet stock.

The resolution capabilities of an electrostatic system depend on both the choice of magnification and chromatic aberrations.

`` Chicago And All That Jazz '' could not be faulted on the choice of artists.

To fill Chief Justice Taney's seat on the Supreme Court, he named the choice of the Radicals, Salmon P. Chase, who Lincoln believed would uphold the emancipation and paper money policies.

Johnston, who had little choice in allowing Floyd and Pillow to take charge at Fort Donelson on the basis of seniority after he ordered them to add their forces to the garrison, took the blame and suffered calls for his removal because a full explanation to the press and public would have exposed the weakness of the Confederate position.

Van Emde Boas observes " even if we base complexity theory on abstract instead of concrete machines, arbitrariness of the choice of a model remains.

A choice function is a function f, defined on a collection X of nonempty sets, such that for every set s in X, f ( s ) is an element of s. With this concept, the axiom can be stated:

: For any set X of nonempty sets, there exists a choice function f defined on X.

Each choice function on a collection X of nonempty sets is an element of the Cartesian product of the sets in X.

Authors who use this formulation often speak of the choice function on A, but be advised that this is a slightly different notion of choice function.

Its domain is the powerset of A ( with the empty set removed ), and so makes sense for any set A, whereas with the definition used elsewhere in this article, the domain of a choice function on a collection of sets is that collection, and so only makes sense for sets of sets.

The result is an explicit choice function: a function that takes the first box to the first element we chose, the second box to the second element we chose, and so on.

Now it is easy to convince oneself that the set X could not possibly be measurable for any rotation-invariant countably additive finite measure on S. Hence one couldn't expect to find an algorithm to find a point in each orbit, without using the axiom of choice.

The restriction to ZF renders any claim that relies on either the axiom of choice or its negation unprovable.

In Martin-Löf type theory and higher-order Heyting arithmetic, the appropriate statement of the axiom of choice is ( depending on approach ) included as an axiom or provable as a theorem.

These results might be weaker than, equivalent to, or stronger than the axiom of choice, depending on the strength of the technical foundations.

For example, if we abbreviate by BP the claim that every set of real numbers has the property of Baire, then BP is stronger than ¬ AC, which asserts the nonexistence of any choice function on perhaps only a single set of nonempty sets.

His report of life there covers a wide range of topics, such as marriage in heaven ( where all angels are married ), children in heaven ( where they are raised by angel parents ), time and space in heaven ( there are none ), the after-death awakening process in the World of Spirits ( a place halfway between Heaven and Hell and where people first wake up after death ), the allowance of a free will choice between Heaven or Hell ( as opposed to being sent to either one by God ), the eternity of Hell ( one could leave but would never want to ), and that all angels or devils were once people on earth.

The solution to the puzzle as well as explaining the historical circumstances leading to the choice of the Agri Decumates as a defensive point and the concentration of Germans there are probably to be found in the German attack on the Gallic fortified town of Vesontio in 58 BC.
