Etymology

Noun

residuum (plural residuums or residua)

The residue, remainder or rest of something

(chemistry) The solid material remaining after the liquid in which it was dissolved has been evaporated; a residue.

(fuzzy logic) A binary function from [0,1] × [0,1] to [0,1] which is defined in terms of the t-norm as follows: $$ x \rightarrow y = \sup \{ z | z * x \leqslant y\}$$ , where $$*$$ denotes the t-norm function and $$\sup$$ denotes the supremum.

The residuum of the minimum t-norm is a function $$\rightarrow$$ such that $$ x \rightarrow y = \begin{cases} y, & \text{if } x > y \\ 1, & \text{if } x \leqslant y .\end{cases}$$

(legal) The residue of an estate
