[1913 Webster] |
constructive
(wn) | constructive
adj 1: constructing or tending to construct or improve or
promote development; "constructive criticism"; "a
constructive attitude"; "a constructive philosophy";
"constructive permission" [ant: destructive]
2: emphasizing what is laudable or hopeful or to the good;
"constructive criticism" |
CONSTRUCTIVE

2. Constructive presence. The commission of crimes, is, when a party is
not actually present, an eyewitness to its commission but, acting with
others, watching while another commits the crime. 1 Russ. Cr. 22.
3. Constructive larceny. One where the taking was not apparently
felonious, but by construction of the prisoner's acts it is just to presume
he intended at the time of taking to appropriate the property feloniously to
his own use; 2 East, P. C. 685; 1 Leach, 212; as when he obtained the
delivery of the goods animo furandi. 2 N. & M. 90. See 15 S. & R. 93; 4
Mass. 580; I Bay, 242.
4. Constructive breaking into a house. In order to commit a burglary,
there must be a breaking of the house; this may be actual or constructive. A
constructive breaking is when the burglar gains an entry into the house by
fraud, conspiracy, or threat. See Burglary, A familiar instance of
constructive breaking is the case of a burglar who coming to the house under
pretence of business, gains admittance, and after being admitted, commits
such acts as, if there had been an actual brooking, would have amounted to a
burglary Bac. Ab. Burglary, A. See 1 Moody Cr. Cas. 87, 250.
5. Constructive notice. Such a notice, that although it be not actual,
is sufficient in law; an example of this is the recording of a deed, which
is notice to all the world, and so is the pendancy of a suit a general
notice of an equity. 4 Bouv. Inst. n. 3874. See Lis pendens.
6. Constructive annexation. The annexation to the inheritance by the

90; Poth. Traits des Choses, Sec. 1.
7. Constructive fraud. A contract or act, which, not originating in
evil design and contrivance to perpetuate a positive fraud or injury upon
other persons, yet, by its necessary tendency to deceive or mislead them, or
to violate a public or private confidence, or to impair or injure public
interest, is deemed equally reprehensible with positive fraud, and therefore
is prohibited by law, as within the same reason and mischief as contracts
and acts done malo animo. 1 Story, Eq. Sec. 258 to 440.

constructive cost model
(foldoc) | Constructive Cost Model
COCOMO
(COCOMO) A method for estimating the cost of a
software package, proposed by Dr Barry Boehm.
The Basic COCOMO Model estimates the effort required to develop
software in three modes of development (Organic Mode,
Semidetached Mode, or Embedded Mode) using only DSIs as an
input. The Basic model is good for quick estimates.
The Intermediate Model extends the Basic Model with an {Effort
Adjustment Factor} (EAF) and different coefficients for the effort
equation. The user supplies settings for cost drivers that
determine the effort and duration of the software projects. It
also allows DSI values and cost drivers to be chosen for
individual components instead of for the system as a whole.
The Detailed COCOMO Model uses effort multipliers for each phase
of the project and provides a three-level product hierarchy and
has some other capabilities such as a procedure for adjusting the
phase distribution of the development schedule.

1981].

constructive proof
(foldoc) | constructive proof
A proof that something exists that provides an
example or a method for actually constructing it.
For example, for any pair of finite real numbers n < 0 and p > 0,
there exists a real number 0 < k < 1 such that
f(k) = (1-k)*n + k*p = 0.
A constructive proof would proceed by rearranging the above to
derive an equation for k:
k = 1/(1-n/p)
From this and the constraints on n and p, we can show that 0 < k <
1.
A few mathematicians actually reject *all* non-constructive
arguments as invalid; this means, for instance, that the law of
the excluded middle (either P or not-P must hold, whatever P is)
has to go; this makes proof by contradiction invalid. See
intuitionistic logic.
Constructive proofs are popular in theoretical computer science,
both because computer scientists are less given to abstraction
than mathematicians and because intuitionistic logic turns out
to be an appropriate theoretical treatment of the foundations of
computer science.

CSG
(CSG) A method used in solid modeling to describe the

operations} (union, difference, intersection) to primitive
shapes (cuboids, cylinders, prisms, pyramids, spheres and cones).

non-constructive proof
(foldoc) | non-constructive proof
existence proof
(Or "existence proof") A proof that something exists
that does not provide an example of that thing or a method for
finding an example. (A constructive proof does provide such an
example or method).
For example, for any pair of finite real numbers n < 0 and p > 0
there exists a real number 0 < k < 1 such that
f(k) = (1-k)*n + k*p = 0.
A non-constructive proof might proceed by observing that as k
changes continuously from 0 to 1, f(k) changes continuously from n
to p and, since they lie either side of zero, f(k) must pass
through zero for some intermediate value of k. This proof does
not tell us what that value of k is, only that it exists.
Cantor's proof that the real numbers are uncountable can be
thought of as a non-constructive proof that irrational numbers
exist. There are existence theorems with no known constructive
proof.
