How to use of “the” before known matrices












1












$begingroup$


I am writing a paper and want to use Vandermonde matrices in its abstract.



I am confused which of the following sentences are correct?




A) One of the important matrices in coding theory is the Vandermonde matrix.



B) One of the important matrices in coding theory is Vandermonde matrix.



C) One of the important matrices in coding theory is Vandermonde matrices.




Thanks for any suggestions.

I would choose a different option. Since there is not a unique Vandermonde matrix, I would say something like




One of the most important kinds/types/families/etc. of matrices in coding theory are the Vandermonde matrices.




If you want to consider them as essentially the same then I'll choose A), but I'm not an expert in coding theory so I'm not sure that wording would sound okay to the people who will read your paper.



Edit: just to let you know, B) is incorrect since you must write "the" in this context, and C) is incorrect because you're using "is" for a plural subject.

    I have two questions. First, my advisory told me "the Vandermonde matrix" is incorrect, since it is written as if there existed only one Vandermonde matrix. Is it correct?. Second, you wrote "One of the most important ... are..." . I think the verb should be "is" not "are". Am I right?

    The Vandermonde matrices are a family. It is incorrect so say "the Vandermonde matrices is a family" because the subject is "the Vandermonde matrices" not "family". In the sentece they're written in opposite order, but the syntax is the same.

    Not all papers are perfectly grammatically correct. And sometimes there are those kinds of conventions. The important thing is to be understood, so you can first ask your colleagues if something sounds weird or not to them.

    $begingroup$
    If you don't use "the" there is a nuance in the meaning. Without "the" it sounds like some important matrices happen to be Vandermonde matrices, rather than saying that that specific kind of matrices (Vandermonde matrices) are important.

$begingroup$

B and C are grammatically incorrect: in B there should be an article before "Vandermonde" and in C, there should be agreement in number. As Javi comments, A is wrong on mathematical grounds: there is a whole family of Vandermonde matrices.

$begingroup$

If the sense of the following is right for your exposition then active voice wins over passive voice.




Vandermonde matrices are important in coding theory.




This sentence puts "Vandermonde" first rather than penultimate: It does not mean exacty the same thing as your drafts, but it may suffice.

    If you don't use "the" there is a nuance in the meaning. Without "the" it sounds like some important matrices happen to be Vandermonde matrices, rather than saying that that specific kind of matrices (Vandermonde matrices) are important.

    B and C are grammatically incorrect: in B there should be an article before "Vandermonde" and in C, there should be agreement in number. As Javi comments, A is wrong on mathematical grounds: there is a whole family of Vandermonde matrices.

    If the sense of the following is right for your exposition then active voice wins over passive voice.




    Vandermonde matrices are important in coding theory.




    This sentence puts "Vandermonde" first rather than penultimate: It does not mean exacty the same thing as your drafts, but it may suffice.

            count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets

            up vote 6 down vote favorite 1 This program is for count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets I am confusing here return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); can some one explain what is happening here? why we are multiplying with k? NOTE->I know this is not the best way to calculate number of partitions that would be DP // A C++ program to count number of partitions // of a set with n elements into k subsets #include<iostream> using namespace std; // Returns count of different partitions of n // elements in k subsets int countP(int n, int k) { // Base cases if (n == 0 || k == 0 || k > n) return 0; if (k == 1 || k == n) return 1; // S(n+1, k) = k*S(n, k) + S(n, k-1) return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); } // Driver program int ma

            A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

            Image
            0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
