UniqueZero(f(x), ForElement(x, S)), rendered x∈Szero*f(x), represents the unique value x∈S
satisfying f(x)=0.
This operation is undefined if such a value does not exist or is not unique.
UniqueZero(f(x), ForElement(x, S), P(x)), rendered x∈S,P(x)zero*f(x), represents the unique value x∈S
satisfying P(x)
and f(x)=0.
UniqueZero(f(x), For(x), P(x)), rendered P(x)zero*f(x), represents the unique value x
satisfying P(x)
and f(x)=0.
UniqueZero(f(x, y), For(Tuple(x, y)), P(x, y)), rendered P(x,y)zero*f(x,y), represents the unique tuple (x,y)
such that P(x,y)
and f(x,y)=0, and similarly for any number n≥2
of variables.
The special expression For(x) or ForElement(x, S) declares x as a locally bound variable within the scope of the arguments to this operator. If For(x) is used instead of ForElement(x, S), the corresponding predicate P(x)
must define the domain of x
unambiguously; that is, it must include a statement such as x∈S
where S
is a known set. Similarly, For(Tuple(x, y)), For(Tuple(x, y, z)), etc. defines multiple locally bound variables which must be accompanied by a multivariate predicate P(x,y), P(x,y,z), etc.
