  • Additionally, in the next section we will make an important distinction between truly polynomial and monomial UV behavior of the theory because in the last case we have fewer divergences.

Examples

  • This is due to the fact that in the DR scheme we do not have any additional mass scale parameter, and the coefficients of covariant divergent terms must be dimensionless (for form factors asymptotically monomial).

  • For example, in a case of a UV monomial theory, we have no divergences proportional to R (which renormalize Formula omitted) in DR, but in the cut-off scheme, the suitable killer must be added.

  • So then this function, this monomial is differentiable and.

  • A function that consists of a single variable term is called a monomial in algebra.

  • In mathematics, a monomial is defined as an expression that contains only one term.

  • When simplifying expressions, it is important to identify whether a term is a monomial or not.

Morphology

monomial = mono + nom + ial

The prefix mono- clearly signals 'one', but the remaining classical element is not a transparent modern English base, so the full mathematical meaning is only partly recoverable from the form alone.

Etymology

Monomial as an adjective comes from the same parts: mono- 'one' plus -nomial 'name' or 'term'. That's why a monomial expression means it has only a single term.
