direct; → object.

directed edge
  لبه‌ی ِ سودار   
labe-ye sudâr

Fr.: graphe orienté

directed; → edge.

directed graph
  نگاره‌ی ِ سودار   
negâre-ye sudâr

Fr.: graphe orienté   

In → graph theory, a graph with → directed edges. Also calle → digraph.

directed; → graph.

directed path
  په ِ سودار   
pah-e sudâr

Fr.: chemin orienté   

In a → directed graph, a path in which all → edges are oriented in the same direction.

directed; → edge.

direction
  راستا، سو؛ ۲) راشتاری   
1) râstâ, su (#); 2) râštâri

Fr.: direction   

1) A position to which motion or another position is referred.
2) The act or an instance of directing.

1) Râstâ, from directdirect + dimension suffix; su, from Mid.Pers. sôk "side."

direction angle
  زاویه‌ی ِ راستا   
zâviye-ye râstâ

Fr.: angle de direction

The angle between the North and a chosen direction.

direct; → angle.

Dirichlet condition
  بوتار ِ دیریکله   
butâr-e Dirichlet

Fr.: condition de Dirichlet   

One of the following conditions for a → Fourier series to converge:
1) The function f(x) is defined and single valued, except possibly at a finite number of points in the interval -π, +π.
2) f(x) has a period of 2π.
3) f(x) and f'(x) are → piecewise continuous functions on -π, +π.
Then, the Fourier series converges to:
(a) f(x) if x is a point of continuity.
(b) (f(x + 0) + f(x - 0))/2, if x is a point of discontinuity.

Named after Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet (1805-1859), German mathematician who made valuable contributions to → number theory, → analysis, and → mechanics; → condition.
