Brit.

/ˌmʌltɪˈvaljuːd/, U.S.

/ˌməltiˈvæljud/; see also multi- comb. form.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: multi- comb. form, valued adj.

Etymology: < multi- comb. form + valued adj. With sense 1 compare earlier one-valued adj., single-valued adj. With sense 2 compare earlier two-valued adj., three-valued adj. at three adj. and n. Compounds 3b.

1. Mathematics. Of a function: having the property that a single argument may map to more than one value.

1931 Proc. Royal Soc. A. 133 463 This makes E a multivalued function of ξ.

1978 H. M. Rosenberg Solid State (ed. 2) viii. 130 The relationship between E and k is no longer the simple parabolic function... Instead the function is multivalued.

1997 Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) A. 355 2496 If this fails at isolated places (‘singularities’), there may still be a multivalued global inversion.

2. Logic. Designating a logic in which a proposition can be assigned any of three or more values, rather than being restricted to the values of truth and falsity. Cf many-valued adj. at many adj., pron., n., and adv. Compounds 2.
