Affine function a function of the form: f(x1,x2, …, xn)=c1x1+c2x2+…+cnxn+c0, considering n≥1 variables xi, and n+1 constants ci (see also affine index functions).

Affine index function used in the context of an array index when the expression that defines is a linear combination of the loop induction variables. For example, the index function 2*i+j is an affine index function over the induction variables i and j, but the indexing function i*j is not affine (see also affine functions).

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) programming paradigm which aims at increasing software code modularity by allowing the separation of cross-cutting concerns from the rest of the application. AOP typically requires extensions to the programming language ...
