Corpus analysis for Discrete
- In this selection, "discrete" usually appears in the middle of the sentence. The average example has 25.5 words, and this corpus slice is mostly made up of statements.
- Around the word, non, topologically, uniformly, mathematics, parts and orientations stand out and add context to how "discrete" is used.
- Recognizable usage signals include and non discrete mathematics and and any non discrete topological group. That gives this page its own corpus information beyond isolated example sentences.
- By corpus frequency, "discrete" sits close to words such as consultants, inmate and oversees, which helps place it inside the broader word index.

If the spectrum of P has both continuous and discrete parts, then the resolution of the identity involves a summation over the discrete spectrum and an integral over the continuous spectrum.
Indeed, any non-discrete topological group is also a topological group when considered with the discrete topology.
It is possible to rotate objects with discrete orientations to produce superpositions of other discrete orientations, and this resolves the intuitive paradoxes of the Sommerfeld model.
