Describing an action which, when performed multiple times, has no further effect on its subject after the first time it is performed. In algebra, xn = x for all positive n
[from mathematical techspeak] adj Acting exactly once This term is often used with respect to {C} header files, which contain common definitions and declarations to be included by several source files If a header file is ever included twice during the same compilation (perhaps due to nested #include files), compilation errors can result unless the header file has protected itself against multiple inclusion; a header file so protected is said to be idempotent The term can also be used to describe an initialization subroutine which is arranged to perform some critical action exactly once, even if the routine is called several times
{i} element that does not change when multiplied by itself, element that satisfies the equation n x n = n (Mathematics)
unchanged in value following multiplication by itself; "this matrix is idempotent"

A matrix is idempotent if A2 = A
