The general argued that finite deterrence, intended to make any nuclear victory so costly that an adversary would prefer not to fight, remained central to national defense planning.

The linguistics professor asked us to identify every non-finite clause in the corpus before the next meeting.

The algebraic structure can be described using finite generators and relations that determine its behavior.

When modeling wave propagation numerically, engineers often use finite differences to approximate derivatives.

Although the infinite lattice is unbounded, it is locally finite because each vertex is adjacent to only finitely many others.

To model the protocol's behavior, the engineers implemented a finite-state machine that tracked every possible connection state.

In the sentence 'To win seemed impossible,' the non-finite verb 'to win' cannot function as the main predicate.

In her thesis, she proved several surprising identities involving finite continued fractions that simplify rational approximations.

To compute the rational approximation, the mathematician converted the repeating decimal into a finite continued fraction and evaluated it.

To apply the Radon–Nikodym theorem, we require that the dominating measure be a σ-finite measure on the measurable space.
