How to use of “the” before known matrices












1












$begingroup$


I am writing a paper and want to use Vandermonde matrices in its abstract.



I am confused which of the following sentences are correct?




A) One of the important matrices in coding theory is the Vandermonde matrix.



B) One of the important matrices in coding theory is Vandermonde matrix.



C) One of the important matrices in coding theory is Vandermonde matrices.




Thanks for any suggestions.

I would choose a different option. Since there is not a unique Vandermonde matrix, I would say something like




One of the most important kinds/types/families/etc. of matrices in coding theory are the Vandermonde matrices.




If you want to consider them as essentially the same then I'll choose A), but I'm not an expert in coding theory so I'm not sure that wording would sound okay to the people who will read your paper.



Edit: just to let you know, B) is incorrect since you must write "the" in this context, and C) is incorrect because you're using "is" for a plural subject.

    I have two questions. First, my advisory told me "the Vandermonde matrix" is incorrect, since it is written as if there existed only one Vandermonde matrix. Is it correct?. Second, you wrote "One of the most important ... are..." . I think the verb should be "is" not "are". Am I right?

    The Vandermonde matrices are a family. It is incorrect so say "the Vandermonde matrices is a family" because the subject is "the Vandermonde matrices" not "family". In the sentece they're written in opposite order, but the syntax is the same.

    Not all papers are perfectly grammatically correct. And sometimes there are those kinds of conventions. The important thing is to be understood, so you can first ask your colleagues if something sounds weird or not to them.

    $begingroup$
    If you don't use "the" there is a nuance in the meaning. Without "the" it sounds like some important matrices happen to be Vandermonde matrices, rather than saying that that specific kind of matrices (Vandermonde matrices) are important.

$begingroup$

B and C are grammatically incorrect: in B there should be an article before "Vandermonde" and in C, there should be agreement in number. As Javi comments, A is wrong on mathematical grounds: there is a whole family of Vandermonde matrices.

$begingroup$

If the sense of the following is right for your exposition then active voice wins over passive voice.




Vandermonde matrices are important in coding theory.




This sentence puts "Vandermonde" first rather than penultimate: It does not mean exacty the same thing as your drafts, but it may suffice.

    If you don't use "the" there is a nuance in the meaning. Without "the" it sounds like some important matrices happen to be Vandermonde matrices, rather than saying that that specific kind of matrices (Vandermonde matrices) are important.

    B and C are grammatically incorrect: in B there should be an article before "Vandermonde" and in C, there should be agreement in number. As Javi comments, A is wrong on mathematical grounds: there is a whole family of Vandermonde matrices.

    If the sense of the following is right for your exposition then active voice wins over passive voice.




    Vandermonde matrices are important in coding theory.




    This sentence puts "Vandermonde" first rather than penultimate: It does not mean exacty the same thing as your drafts, but it may suffice.

            ASUS Zenbook UX433/UX333 — Configure Touchpad-embedded numpad on Linux

            Image
            0 1 I have an ASUS Zenbook UX433,on which ASUS decided to innovate by embedding a Numpad inside the touchpad (see picture 1). Toggling between classic touchpad mode and numpad (also turns the touchpad LEDs on) can be done through the golden button in the top-right corner of the touchpad. However, on my Manjaro arch Linux config, this behavior does not work by default and I can only use the touchpad, no numpad. Has anyone been able to configure the numpad to work on Linux, or have any idea how this could be achieved? EDIT1: I have had a look at the official Windows drivers for the UX433FA TouchPad, but was not able to make anything of it. I tried installing them on Linux using tools like NDISWrapper, but they do not detect the TouchPad/Numpad hardware, and my understanding of drivers is too limited. ...
