GeneratedParameters
GeneratedParameters
is an option that specifies how parameters generated to represent the results of various symbolic operations should be named.
Details
- 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
are used to parameterize families of solutions to equations. - The
usually correspond to free parameters, but are also sometimes used to represent arbitrary functions. - The
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.
- GeneratedParameters is an option to such functions as DSolve, RSolve, and Reduce.
