Dekompozim

Dekompozim is an Albanian term for the process of decomposition, defined as the breaking down of a complex system into simpler parts or of a substance into its constituent elements. The concept is used across science, engineering, mathematics, and computing to manage complexity, analyze structure, and facilitate problem solving. In Albanian-language contexts it often refers to both chemical decomposition and the broader methodological idea of breaking something down into components.

In chemistry, dekompozim denotes reactions in which a compound decomposes into two or more substances. Such reactions typically require energy input, for example through heat or electricity, and can be represented by chemical equations of the form AB → A + B. Classic examples include the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Decomposition reactions are important in materials processing, combustion, and environmental chemistry.

In mathematics and computer science, dekompozim refers to the breakdown of a complex object into simpler elements. This includes matrix decompositions (such as LU, QR, and eigen or spectral decomposition), data decompositions (like singular value decomposition and principal component analysis), and problem or software decomposition into subproblems or modules. Decomposition supports analysis, numerical computation, algorithm design, and parallel processing, enabling more manageable models and scalable solutions.

In systems engineering and information technology, dekompozim describes hierarchical or modular decomposition of a system into subsystems and components. This approach aids design, implementation, testing, maintenance, and reuse, helping to control complexity and improve clarity.
