Diteracions

Diteracions is a term used primarily in Catalan-language texts to denote two successive cycles in a process. It is not a formal, standalone field, but rather a descriptive label whose exact meaning varies by context. In practice, the term emphasizes that a procedure includes two consecutive iterations, often with the second iteration informed by the results of the first.

In computing and algorithms, diteracions can describe a dual-pass approach: the first iteration yields a provisional result, and the second iteration refines or corrects it using information from the initial pass. This pattern can occur in optimization, parsing, or error correction, where a quick initial solution is followed by a refinement step.

In mathematical contexts, a diteracio may refer to applying a function twice in succession, i.e., the second iterate of the function. In design, engineering, or analysis, the phrase may denote two rounds of testing or feedback before finalization.

Etymology: diteracions derives from diter- meaning two and iteracions from iteració, iteration. It is more commonly encountered in Catalan-language material than in English-language literature, and its use is varied or idiosyncratic to a project or author.
