GeneratedParameters

GeneratedParameters
is an option which specifies how parameters generated to represent the results of various symbolic operations should be named.
  • The typical default setting is GeneratedParameters->C.
  • The setting GeneratedParameters->f specifies that successive generated parameters should be named f[1], f[2], ... .
  • In typical cases, the f[i] are used to parameterize families of solutions to equations.
  • The f[i] usually correspond to free parameters, but are also sometimes used to represent arbitrary functions.
  • The f[i] have indices that start at 1 for each invocation of a particular symbolic operation.
  • GeneratedParameters->(Module[{C}, C]&) guarantees that parameters are unique, even across different invocations of a function.
