Interface Functor.Composite

All Superinterfaces:

Composite, Functor

All Known Subinterfaces:

BinaryFunction.Composite, BinaryFunction.Composite, BinaryPredicate.Composite, Formula.Composite, Function.Composite, Function.Composite, MathFunctor.Composite, Predicate.Composite, VoidFunction.Composite, VoidPredicate.Composite

Enclosing interface:

Functor

public static interface Functor.Composite
extends Composite, Functor

The base interface for all functors that are composed of other functors.

Composition of functors is possible in several variations.

compose: (f,g) ↦ f ∘ g := f(g), or

compose: (f,(g₁,...,g_k)) ↦ f ∘ (g₁,...,g_k) := f(g₁,...,g_k)^T vectorial, or

compose: (f,(g_0,0,...,g_n-1,m-1)) ↦ f ∘ (g_0,0,...,g_n-1,m-1) := f(g_0,0,...,g_n-1,m-1) matrix.
