this is a real life example of the problem I discussed in a separate post
"...155839-use-definite-article-plural-noun"
regarding the meaning of
THE + A PLURAL NOUN
construct. Here is an example from an article that I am writing:
"In the previous studies it was shown that [the] equation system for [the] exact factorial moments is given by..."
Are [the]s correct? How would a native English speaking person understand this sentence.
Regards
Zoran
Of course, a factorial moment is diligently defined in the introduction. It is simply an object labeled by an integer index. The full set of factorial moments is infinte
f0, f1, f2, f3, f4, ... never stops
I am not sure how to refer to this full set, using "the" or without it.
