The payment of a debt plus accrued interest by regular payments.

A term in social choice theory meaning invariance of a result under permutation of voters.

If a map f:G->G^' from a group G to a group G^' satisfies f(ab)=f(b)f(a) for all a,b in G, then f is said to be an antihomomorphism. Moreover, if G and G^' are isomorphic, ...

An operator * for which a*b=-b*a is said to be anticommutative.

For operators A^~ and B^~, the anticommutator is defined by {A^~,B^~}=A^~B^~+B^~A^~.

If a map f:G->G^' from a group G to a group G^' satisfies f(ab)=f(b)f(a) for all a,b in G, then f is said to be an antihomomorphism.

The antilaplacian of u with respect to x is a function whose Laplacian with respect to x equals u. The antilaplacian is never unique.

The inverse function of the logarithm, defined such that log_b(antilog_bz)=z=antilog_b(log_bz). The antilogarithm in base b of z is therefore b^z.
