Superpartient ratio: Difference between revisions

cleanup/rewrite. Is there a typo in the last sentence? n refers to both epimericity and epimoricity, yet they are rarely (never?) identical.

Superpartient subcategories: added a link to the delta-N page
Line 15: Line 15:
Superpartient ratios can be grouped into subcategories based on the exact difference between the numerator and the denominator. This is known as the '''degree of epimoricity''' (not to be confused with ''epimericity'' – see link below), or '''delta''' (proposed by [[Kite Giedraitis]]). This is particularly useful when considering ratios that are [[comma]]s.

These subcategories are named as delta-2, delta-3, delta-4, etc., or as superbipartient, supertripartient, superquadripartient, etc. Superparticular or epimoric ratios can likewise be named delta-1.
