plural of partition function

(mathematics) generalization of the definition of a partition function in statistical mechanics / (number theory) function that represents the number of possible partitions of a natural number.

(mathematics) A tool used in dynamical systems theory, allowing the methods of symbolic dynamics to be applied to the study of hyperbolic systems. By using a Markov partition, the system can be made to resemble a discrete-time Markov process, with the long-term dynamical characteristics of the system represented as a Markov shift.

(mathematics) The expression of a given even number as the sum of two primes; involved in Goldbach's conjecture.

(computing) A disk partition designated as auxiliary memory, used primarily on Unix and Linux systems.
