1. having bounds or limits; not infinite; measurable. 2. a. (of a set of mathematical elements) capable of being completely counted. b. not infinite or infinitesimal. c. not zero. 3. subject to limitations or conditions, as of space, time, circumstances, or the laws of nature....
Middle English, borrowed from Latin fīnītus "specific, definite, having bounds or limits," from past participle of fīnīre "to mark out the boundaries, limit, put an end to, bring to a close" — more at finish >entry 1 The first known use of finite was in the 15th century ...

” we use these parameters (input and output parameters) to locate the design points space, generate a Response Surfaces, and optimize the project based on Candidate Points (within the bounds of having the lowest possible mass and the lowest possible compliant and total deformation, before the ...
Infinite sums are defined as limits of finite sums in analysis and to carry this idea over to inner product spaces, a concept of limit is required. The above defined concept of distance leads to a natural definition of convergence. Let {xn: n = 1, 2, …} be a sequence of vectors in...
Wall classified the finite groups G having more than 12|G|-1 involutions [25], and this was extended to a classification of those G with more than 12|G|-1 subgroups of prime order by Burness and Scott [2]. For a finite group G and e∈{-1,2,3}, let us denote by le...
Grid block configuration (Part 4): A quick way to circumvent problems that spill over the L2 cache can be to configure the thread block or grid indexing configuration. This lets smaller segments of the xy-plane fill the cache first allowing some threads to perform computations without having to...
Adhesive contact of a rigid flat surface with an elastic substrate having Weierstrass surface profile is numerically analyzed using the finite element method. In this work, we investigate the relationship between load and contact area spanning the limits of non-adhesive normal contact to adhesive conta...
Key Point Simultaneous prediction intervals and bounds provide a statistical characterization of a proportion of a finite population. This article considers these predictions from a Bayesian inferential approach and different ways to evaluate them including simulation....
