Description	mathematical formula representing the definition of a mathematical concept
Data type	Mathematical expression
Domain	instances and subclasses of mathematical concept (Q24034552)
Example	absolute value (Q120812) → $\left\{{\begin{array}{rl}x,&{\text{if }}x\geq 0\\-x,&{\text{if }}x<0.\end{array}}\right.$ absolute value (Q120812) → $x\mathop {sgn} (x)$

defining formula (P2534) allows to add the formula that defines a mathematical statement, but currently there isn't a property to add the formula that defines a mathematical concept. Malore (talk) 18:00, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't understand your distinction here regarding defining formula (P2534) - why can't you use it for such a purpose? Your example of absolute value certainly I would think defining formula (P2534) is appropriate and accurate as the property for? ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:41, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well that's certainly not how it's been used, I'd argue the description there is wrong then. See for example arithmetic mean (Q19033). This should probably be discussed on the talk page for defining formula (P2534). ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:55, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
