French term

découle la propriété :

French to English Other Mathematics & Statistics
Context:
Nous introduisons des variables q(t) qui représentent la fraction de temps d'application de chacun des vecteurs de commande ; pour chaque pas de temps (t-1; t).
De cette définition découle la propriété :
0 ; (t ) 1.
On peut alors exprimer la commande globale sur le réseau par :

Accepted this task thinking it was a patent an it turns out to be a paper on statistics and water management

To my way of thinking it reads as
from this definition we have the following:
Am I right or simply tired?
TIA Chris.
Change log

Sep 5, 2020 16:26: philgoddard changed "Field" from "Law/Patents" to "Other" , "Field (write-in)" from "Statistics" to "(none)"

Discussion

SafeTex Sep 6, 2020:
@ Daryo Come on Daryo please. Phil's suggestion is probably not the most eloquent but he said himself that had reservations and when speaking of maths, we do say ".... and this gives us..."
On the other hand a "consequence of this definition" is really weird, firstly because mathematical formulas are not "definitions" (despite the French) but "equations" and secondly, because "equations" do not normally have "consequences". We "derive" or obtain" results/properties from them.

Daryo Sep 5, 2020:
yes or any variation on

"the consequence of this defintion is that ..."

the text says nothing about *what* is supposed to have the "property 0 ; (t ) 1." It's probably defined somewhere in the preceding text.


Marco Solinas Sep 5, 2020:
To Asker I think you are reading it correctly: "From this definition it follows:"

the (following) property is derived

For maths, I think "derive" could be used.

Thanks B D Finch
disagree Francois Boye : this is a literary expression. In Math books, they say from x it follows y.

So maths books are literary works now? HA HA HA

From this definition, it follows the property...

My take

disagree B D Finch : Syntax is quite wrong: makes no sense.//Probably primary school level maths books.

Incorrect! My translation is basic deduction in math books (from x it follows y)..
disagree SafeTex : How many native speakers does it take to convince you that your syntax is wrong plus the fact that an equation is not a definition despite the French.

French term (edited): découle la propriété

gives the property

This is not my area of expertise, but a literal translation seems reasonable.

This gives the property ( CPA/I), and completes the proof.

This gives the property that (ab)m = (bc)n = (ca)l = 1 since l, m, n are integers. ≥ 2.

disagree Daryo : as ou said yourself "This is not my area of expertise" // Sorry to burst your bubble, but as it happens mathematical logic is one of them.

It's not your area of expertise either, but that's never stopped you passing judgment on everyone.
neutral SafeTex : This is not my preferred solution but I don't think it deserved a disagree as we do say when calculating "... and this gives us... ". e.g "π r 2 gives us the area of a circle".

Thanks. My answer is perfectly correct, as my references show. I made the mistake of admitting I'm not a mathematician when the Disagreer in Chief was lurking. We all translate outside our areas of expertise every day, and make a good job of it.
neutral B D Finch : Not wrong, but "to derive" is the more suitable verb. // Because it states that the definition is the logical source from which property results. The verb "to give" is more suited to the result of a calculation. (I did stats units for 3 years at uni.)
