Symbol: UniqueSolution —

\mathop{\operatorname{solution*}\,}\limits_{x \in S} Q(x)

— Unique solution

UniqueSolution(Q(x), ForElement(x, S)), rendered

\mathop{\operatorname{solution*}\,}\limits_{x \in S} Q(x)

, represents the unique value

x \in S

satisfying

Q(x)

This operation is undefined if such a value does not exist or is not unique.

UniqueSolution(Q(x), ForElement(x, S), P(x)), rendered

\mathop{\operatorname{solution*}\,}\limits_{x \in S,\,P(x)} Q(x)

, represents the unique value

x \in S

satisfying

P(x)

and

Q(x)

UniqueSolution(Q(x), For(x), P(x)), rendered

\mathop{\operatorname{solution*}\,}\limits_{P(x)} Q(x)

, represents the unique value

x

satisfying

P(x)

and

Q(x)

UniqueSolution(Q(x, y), For(Tuple(x, y)), P(x, y)), rendered

\mathop{\operatorname{solution*}\,}\limits_{P\left(x, y\right)} Q\!\left(x, y\right)

, represents the unique tuple

\left(x, y\right)

satisfying

P\!\left(x, y\right)

and

Q\!\left(x, y\right)

, and similarly for any number

n \ge 2

of variables.

The special expression For(x) or ForElement(x, S) declares x as a locally bound variable within the scope of the arguments to this operator. If For(x) is used instead of ForElement(x, S), the corresponding predicate

P(x)

must define the domain of

x

unambiguously; that is, it must include a statement such as

x \in S

where

S

is a known set. Similarly, For(Tuple(x, y)), For(Tuple(x, y, z)), etc. defines multiple locally bound variables which must be accompanied by a multivariate predicate

P\!\left(x, y\right)

P\!\left(x, y, z\right)

, etc.
