Arity
In mathematics, arity may also be called rank, but this word can have many other meanings. (A function of arity n thus has arity n+1 considered as a relation.) wikipedia.org

What is the 'arity' of a relation? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
Sorted by: 2. It is the number of inputs to the relation or predicate. The term is also used with functions, while I have not seen relations with other than two inputs. The relation "less than" needs two values to make a complete sentence such as x < y x < y, so has arity two. The function sin sin takes one input to make a value like sin x sin ...

a function to specify arity-- what do these sentences mean?? I have encountered a function $\pi$ mapping the set of function and predicate symbols to the natural numbers so that for each $k\ge1$, each of the sets {$i ...
(We could also have infinitely many function symbols of zero arity, i.e. constants, and infinitely many predicate symbols of zero arity, i.e. constant of arity $i$.

Do arity or dimension of relations depend on how many variables are involved? 1) y = x + 1 It seems like even though the above has both "=" and "+", there are only two variables, so the relation would be a binary on...
These facts identify such functions' minimal arities (the implementation of them might increase arity with unused arguments, e.g. `def f(x, y, z, a): return z==x+y` in Python has arity $4$).

Why are constants considered $0$-arity functions in logic? I always come across this idea. It seems that constants can be considered nullary/$0$-arity functions. What is the intuition behind that?
A function of arity $n$ on the universe $A$ is a function $$ f \colon A^n \to A. $$ Of course $A^0$ has only one point, say $*$.

Spectrum restrictions in the signature consisting of just a single binary operation In the signature {*}, where * is an operator of arity 2, is there a theory whose spectrum is the set of prime powers?
Finite models of field theory have the cardinality of prime powers. Of course, they don't quite fit your signature. However, the answer to this question demonstrates methods to capture both addition and multiplication in a single binary operation. For each constant and function defined, you will hav...

Operator which is symmetric but not associative? Addition and multiplication are symmetric and associative. But I have no idea about operators which are symmetric but _not_ associative. Please help me listing any such...
Symmetric operations are easy to come by, aren't they? Just write down a symmetric polynomial at random, like $x^2+y^2$, or make up a symmetric operation table haphazardly. It might be associative, but the odds are it's not.

What is the name for the intermediary object(s) of functional composition? Consider two morphisms: $f : X \to Y$ and $g : Y \to Z$ , and their composition: $g \circ f : X \to Z$. What is the name given to the role o...
Normally, if we have a morphism $f\colon X\rightarrow Z$ such that there exist morphisms $l\colon X\rightarrow Y$ and $r\colon Y\rightarrow Z$, such that $f=r\circ l$ we say that the morphism $f$ _factors through_ $Y$ via $l$ and $r$. Is this the sort of terminology you're looking for?

Creating L-structures on domains I'm given the language $L=(R,g)$ and in this, $R$ is a relation of arity 3and $g$ is a function of arity 2. If I have the domain {1, 2, 3, 4}, how many different L-structures can I ma...
A relation symbol of arity $3$ is interpreted as a subset of $D^3$. What is the size of $D^3$? How many subsets does a set of size $k$ have? A function symbol of arity $2$ is interpreted as a function $D^2 \to D$. What is the size of $D^2$? What is the size of $D$?
