The phrase "a unary" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in mathematical or computer science contexts to refer to an operation or function that takes only one operand or argument.
Example: "In programming, a unary operator, such as negation, only requires a single operand to perform its function."
Alternatives: "a single" or "one-argument".
The coincident pulse technique is used to implement a unary addressing scheme.
The minus sign is the only operator that can be used as both a unary and a binary operator.
This is true of all J verbs: they have one meaning as a binary infix (dyadic) operation, and another as a unary (monadic) operation.
The topology of the nucleation rate surface for a unary system using the example of water vapor nucleation is created semi-empirically.
The ECTFE hollow fiber membranes were prepared by a thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) method using a unary solvent (DEP or GTA).
Formally, given an expression containing two or more instances of the binary compositing operator (A over B) and two or more instances of a unary operator T, if the unary operator is distributive with respect to compositing, i.e. if T(A) over T(B) = T(A over B), then associativity permits the expression to be rewritten to reduce the number of unary operations.
Let f, g, and h be a binary, an unary and a nullary scoring function from the underlying signature.
For the inductive step, let (h > 0) and assume (S_{t'} w_{t'} = H_{t'}) for any target (t') with a unary-binary tree of height (k
This means that if an intermediate molecule appears more than once as a vertex in a unary-binary tree representation of a synthesis plan, its subtrees should be identical.
A straight-forward method would be to consider all the |B|! orders of fixing the bonds in B, each of which gives a unary-binary tree, and then for each tree enforcing the requirement that no intermediate molecule is synthesized in more than one way, cf. Fig. 2.
For example, Aurora, a well-known SPS, supports a simple unary operator (Filter), a binary merge operator (Union), a time-bounded windowed sort (WSort), and an aggregation operator (Tumble)[45].
