- (graph theory) The property of a graph such that its vertices can be listed in an order such that, for every vertex, the vertex is a subdominant vertex (has an adjacent vertex that is adjacent to every other vertex that it is adjacent to) in the induced subgraph generated by that vertex and all subsequent vertices.
- Capable of being dismantled, or taken apart.
adj
- (set theory, of a class) Not being a set.
- (algebraic geometry, of a morphism of schemes) Separated, of finite type, and universally closed.
- (usually postpositive) In the strict sense; within the strict definition or core (of a specified place, taxonomic order, idea, etc).
- (mathematics, physics) Eigen-; designating a function or value which is an eigenfunction or eigenvalue.
- (topology, of a function) Continuous, mapping closed sets to closed sets, and such that the preimage of every point is compact.
- (often postpositive) In the very strictest sense of the word.
- (mathematics) Being strictly part of some other thing (not necessarily explicitly mentioned, but of definitional importance), and not being the thing itself.
- Excellent, of high quality; such as the specific person or thing should ideally be. (Now often merged with later senses.)
