Definition of discriminant in English English dictionary

An expression that gives information about the roots of a polynomial; for example, the expression D = b2 - 4ac determines whether the roots of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 are real and distinct (D > 0), real and equal (D = 0) or complex (D < 0)

An expression used to distinguish or separate other expressions in a quantity or equation

A discriminant is a distinguished component of an object or value of a record type The subtypes of other components, or even their presence or absence, may depend on the value of the discriminant

The eliminant of the n partial differentials of any homogenous function of n variables

An expression that gives information about the roots of a polynomial; for example, the expression D = b[2] - 4ac determines whether the roots of the quadratic equation ax[2] + bx + c = 0 are real and distinct (D > 0), real and equal (D = 0) or complex (D < 0)

A ‘parameter’ to a record type whose value may be used in array index constraints for record components, as an initial value for components, or to select between record variants

A discriminant is a parameter of a composite type It can control, for example, the bounds of a componentof the type if that type is an array type A discriminant of a task type can be used to pass datato a task of the type upon creation

A function of the coefficients of a polynomial of one variable It is essentially the product of all possible differences of roots of the polynomial Therefore the discriminant is zero if and only if the polynomial has repeated roots
