epäyksittäiset

Epäyksittäiset refers to a concept in Finnish mathematics, specifically within set theory. It describes elements or sets that are not unique or single. This term is often used in contrast to "yksittäinen," which means single or unique.

In a mathematical context, if a set is described as "epäyksittäinen," it implies that it contains more than one element, or that there are multiple instances or occurrences of something. For example, if a problem asks to find the "epäyksittäiset" solutions to an equation, it means finding all solutions, even if there are several.

The term can also be applied to individual elements. An "epäyksittäinen" element might refer to a member of a set that is not the only one of its kind, or an element that can appear multiple times. The precise meaning of "epäyksittäinen" is always dependent on the specific mathematical context in which it is used. It generally indicates a departure from singularity and points towards multiplicity or plurality. Understanding this term is crucial for accurately interpreting mathematical statements and problems presented in Finnish.
