Senses
行動 is used for these senses in English:
- act (countable) Something done, a deed.
- act (obsolete, transitive) To do (something); to perform.
- act (intransitive, mathematics, construed with on or upon, of an algebraic structure) To possess an action onto (some other structure). Examples include the group action of a group on a set, the action of a ring on a module by scalar multiplication, and the action of a group or algebra on a vector space via a representation.
- action Something done, often so as to accomplish a purpose.
- action (mathematics) A way in which each element of some algebraic structure transforms some other structure or set, in a way which respects the structure of the first. Formally, this may be seen as a morphism from the first structure into some structure of endomorphisms of the second; for example, a group action of a group G on a set S can be seen as a group homomorphism from G into the set of bijections on S (which form a group under function composition), while a module M over a ring R can be defined as an abelian group together with a ring homomorphism from R into the ring of group endomorphisms of M (which is also called the action of R on M).
- behave (intransitive) To act, conduct oneself in a specific manner; used with an adverbial of manner.
- behavior (countable, uncountable) The way a living creature behaves or acts generally.
- behavior (uncountable) The way a device or system operates.
