Wikipedia

  1. well-defined

    In mathematics, a well-defined expression or unambiguous expression is an expression whose definition assigns it a unique interpretation or value. Otherwise, the expression is said to be not well defined, ill defined or ambiguous. A function is well defined if it gives the same result when the representation of the input is changed without changing the value of the input. For instance, if f {\displaystyle f} takes real numbers as input, and if f ( 0.5 ) {\displaystyle f(0.5)} does not equal f ( 1 / 2 ) {\displaystyle f(1/2)} then f {\displaystyle f} is not well defined (and thus not a function). The term well defined can also be used to indicate that a logical expression is unambiguous or uncontradictory. A function that is not well defined is not the same as a function that is undefined. For example, if f ( x ) = 1 x {\displaystyle f(x)={\frac {1}{x}}} , then even though f ( 0 ) {\displaystyle f(0)} is undefined does not mean that the function is not well defined – but simply that 0 is not in the domain of f {\displaystyle f} .

  1. well-defined

    In mathematics or logic, well-defined refers to an object, function, or operation that is unambiguously characterized or determined, meaning it has a clear and specific definition, is in accordance with certain rules, and does not rely on arbitrary choices. It should produce the same result regardless of the method or interpretation used. If a concept is not well-defined, it tends to lead to contradictions or ambiguities.
