Separability

Separability may refer to:

In mathematics:

• Separable differential equations
  • Separable ordinary differential equation, a class of equations that can be separated into a pair of integrals
  • Separable partial differential equation, a class of equations that can be broken down into differential equations in fewer independent variables
• Separable extension in field theory (mathematics)
• Separable polynomials
• Separable sigma algebras in measure theory
• Separable spaces in topology
• Linear separability in geometry
• Separable filters in image processing, e.g. Gaussian blur
• Recursively inseparable sets — two sets that can't be separated by any deciable set

In quantum mechanics:

• Separable states — states without quantum entanglement

In economics:

• Separable goods

In arbitration law:

• Separability — the principle that an arbitration clause is considered separate from the contract in which it is contained

In chemical engineering:

• Separation process — correlated with the degree of difference between the physical or chemical properties of the species to be separated
