	Associativity
		Note that the dual of an associative composition is associative.
		Before going on to combine associativity and identifiability to obtain a category, pause to consider something associativity alone allows us to say about null identities in an arrow land.
		Associativity is just the property needed to ensure that these are equal.

	Associativity
		It means that, within an expression containing two or more of the same associative operators in a row, the order of operations does not matter as long as the sequence of the operands is not changed.
		Associativity is not to be confused with the commutativity.
		is an example of associativity because the parentheses were changed (and consequently the order of operations during evaluatation) while the operands 5, 2, and 1 appeared in the exact same order from left to right in the expression.

	Running SICStus Prolog - 2.2.2. Associativity
		Precedence and associativity are defined in Prolog with the built-in predicate
		The first argument determines precedence, the second associativity and the third defines the operator symbol.
		The associativity argument is also used to declare whether the operator is an infix operator (like the arithmetical ones), a prefix operator or a postfix operator.

	Power associativity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In abstract algebra, power associativity is a weak form of associativity.
		An algebra (or more generally a magma) is said to be power-associative if the subalgebra generated by any element is associative.
		Every associative algebra is obviously power-associative, but so are all other alternative algebras (like the octonions, which are non-associative) and even some non-alternative algebras like the sedenions.

	Re: RE-ASSOC: a question about the associativity of RE concatenation
		It's significant that _none_ of the example regexps in the spec are sensative to the associativity issue.
		So if you stated or assumed a definition of "subpattern", but didn't _explicitly_ consider associativity, then we can't look to your definition to answer any questions about associativity: your intent might have decided associativity simply by accident.
		For the associativity question, I know of no answer that makes more sense than to give regexps the useful algebraic properties that follow from the left associativity of concatenation.

		Associativity Properties of the Symplectic Sum - McDuff, Symington (ResearchIndex)
		Abstract: In this note we apply a 4-fold sum operation to develop an associativity rule for the pairwise symplectic sum.
		The question of uniqueness of a symplectic structure (up to path equivalence in the space of symplectic forms) is quite delicate.

	Associativity Summary
		Thus, the associative property states that combining a with b first, and then combining the result with c, is equivalent to combining b with c first, and then combining a with that result.
		Subtraction of real numbers is not associative since in general (a - b) -c not equal a - (b - c), for example (35 - 2) - 6 = 33 - 6 = 27, while 35 - (2 - 6) = 35 - (-4) = 39.
		When the associative property holds for all the members of a set, every combination of elements must result in another element of the same set.

	A Discussion on Modern Design Optimization Tools: Full Associativity of CAD, FEA and Event Simulators (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Care is taken such that the FEA model is also updated using the principle of associativity, which implies that constraints and loads are preserved from the prior analysis.
		Associativity between the CAD and FEA software should allow the engineer to alter the model in either application, and have the other automatically reflect these changes.
		Thus, associativity is required in order to achieve this automatic communication between the CAD and FEA models.

	CS 3411C - April 22, 1999
		If an operator has left associativity, then the leftmost occurrence of that operator is evaluated first.
		If the operator has right associativity, then the rightmost occurrence of that operator is evaluated first.
		Usually, associativity is left to right (in imperative languages), except with exponentiation which is right to left.

	[No title]
		If the associativity ticks are too big, it means that a MH stayed at a location for a long time, so it is likely to move soon.
		The stability is determined using "associativity ticks" -- a count of "alive" messages from neighboring nodes greater than a set threshold (determined by the migration speed and transmission distance of the nodes) sets those nodes as active links, and not just a migratory node.
		The degree of the association is proportional to the number of ticks (temporal association).

	C++ Ripped Apart - Operator Precedence & Operator Associativity (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Operator precedence (determines which expressions are evaluated before others in a statement) and operator associativity are both very important to understand.
		Associativity may be left associative (left to right) or right associative (right to left).
		Now that we have covered the precedence of operators and operator associativity, we can move on to something that occurs during assignment statements, sometimes without the programmer asking for it and sometimes by the programmer specifically asking for it.

	Nodesets and Sidesets
		This functionality can be used either to associate a previously-generated mesh with a geometry (See Importing an Exodus II File), or to associate a field function with a geometry for adaptive surface meshing (See Adaptive Meshing).
		Then, the name of each geometry entity is associated with the corresponding nodeset by writing a property name and designating the corresponding nodeset as having that property.
		Nodeset numbers used for associativity nodesets are determined by adding a fixed base number (depending on the order of the geometric entity) to the geometric entity id number.

	2.6.2 Precedence and Associativity Declarations in Cecil
		Cecil allows the precedence and associativity of infix operators to be specified by programmers through precedence declarations.
		Expressions mixing operators of unrelated precedences or multiple sequential occurrences of an operator that is non-associative must be explicitly parenthesized.
		The effect of a precedence declaration is to declare the relationship of the precedences of several binary operators and/or to specify the associativity of a binary operator.

	Associativity
		This term is of course derived from "associated" and "associative".
		To be honest, I thought the word "associativity" was one of those words invented by some techno-marketeer in the late 1980s to describe an important attribute of solid modeling systems.

	Operator Precedence and Associativity
		When we can't decide by operator precedence alone in which order to calculate an expression, we must use associativity.
		If you don't use parentheses, Pike will use the precedences and the associativities of the operators to decide in which order to perform them.
		This table shows the priority and associativity of each operator in Pike, with the highest priority at the top:

		The names of, precedence of, associativity of, and arity of operators is fixed by the language.

	Understanding CPU caching and performance: Page 7 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Any more than eight-way associativity and the cache's latency is increased so much that the decrease in miss rate isn't worth it.
		Any less than two-way associativity and the number of collisions often increase the miss rate to the point that the decrease in latency isn't worth it.
		First, though you've probably already figured it out, a direct-mapped cache is simply a one-way associative cache and a fully associative cache is an n-way associative cache where n is equal to the total number of blocks in the cache.

		Properties of the C operators of primary interest for our purposes are summarized in table 2.4 grouped in order of decreasing precedence, with their associativity properties.
		While it is best to know in detail the precedence level of all the operators, when there is any doubt, it is best to use parentheses to force the interpretation that you, the programmer intends.

	How much commutativity in associativity :)
		Also, I don't think you mean to call G a group, since the group operation is associative by definition.
		The two plus signs in each expression of the equation are the operations, and associativity is saying that the order of doing the operations don't matter, you can go left to right or right to left.
		It says that we cannot say that "+" is associative without referring to commutativity, that is, an operation cannot said to be just associative but non-commutative.

	Associativity Based Routing (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The main idea of associativity is that there no point in choosing a route based on the shortest path when the route is going to be broken or invalidated due to node’s mobility.
		Association in ABR takes up a few metrics such as link delay, signal strength, power life, route relaying load, period of presence or spatial and temporal characteristics.
		The associativity ticks with its neighbours will also be appended together with other routing metrics/ qualities.

	Syntax extensions and interpretation scopes
		By default, a notation is considered non associative, but the precedence level is mandatory (except for special cases whose level is canonical).
		To avoid giving the precedence and associativity every time, it is possible to declare a parsing rule in advance without giving its interpretation.
		An abbreviation expects no precedence nor associativity, since it can always be put at the lower level of atomic expressions, and associativity is irrelevant.
