ternariant Math.|təˈnɛərɪənt|
[f. ternary + the ending of invariant, etc.]
(See quots.)
1882Sylvester in Amer. Jrnl. Math. V. 81 note, I am inclined to substitute the word binariant for subinvariants, and to speak of simple, double, treble or multiple binariants. The functions similarly related to ternary forms will then be styled simple or multiple ternariants. 1890Forsyth ibid. XII. 1 note, It has proved convenient to use the word ‘ternariants’ as a generic term for concomitants of ternary quantics, instead of giving it the signification which Prof. Sylvester..proposed,..viz. the leading coefficients of those concomitants. |
