The phrase "a simple generalization" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when referring to a broad statement or conclusion that is easy to understand and not overly complex.
Example: "While the theory is sound, it is important to remember that it is merely a simple generalization and may not apply to every situation."
Alternatives: "a basic overview" or "a straightforward assumption".
Although the generalized eigenvalue problem looks like a simple generalization of the usual eigenvalue problem, it exhibits some important differences.
Here's a simple generalization — that is, explanation — of how: Previous generations were raised to speak only when spoken to, and to endure in self-denying silence.
It is shown that various multicomponent diffusion equations can be written in the generalized Maxwell Stefan (MS) form by using a simple generalization of the inversion method presented in a publication by Merk [1959. Applied Scientific Research A 8, 73 99].
A simple generalization of the usual Fourier series in which the generalized exponential and circular functions are used is presented.
For pure solvents a simple generalization of parameters leads to accurate predictions for other solvents in the same homologous series.
In particular we show that a distribution of photons in time combined with the standard photon map radiance estimate is incorrect, and we introduce a simple generalization that correctly handles photons distributed in both time and space.
In a globalized society with rapid flows of population, goods and information, any simple generalization at a community level is not enough to analyze the complex intersections of the current world system.
So any simple generalization will be wrong.
These findings make it clear that the evolutionary processes underlying therapeutic resistance and relapse are complex and cannot be described by any simple generalization.
A very simple generalization, using Jacobian elliptic functions, of the usual Fourier series, appropriate for non-linear systems, is used to study the first order approximate solution of the generalized van der Pol oscillators Ẍ+AX+2BX3+ϵ z3+z2X2+z1X4 dotX=0.
In response to steps up in intensity in the normal range, A was found to increase rapidly, overshoot the applied intensity level, and then relax to that level within 40 min. These results are incompatible with the Delbrück-Reichardt model or any simple generalizations of it.
