Complex



 
  A complex is a whole that comprehends a number of intricate parts, especially one with interconnected or mutually related parts.

Complex may refer to:

Science

  • Complex (chemistry)
    Complex (chemistry)

    In chemistry, a complex, also called a "coordination compound" or "metal complex", is a structure consisting of a central atom or molecule connected to surrounding atoms or molecules....
    , also called a "coordination compound" or "metal complex", a structure consisting of a central atom or molecule weakly connected to surrounding atoms or molecules
  • Protein complex
    Protein complex

    A multiprotein complex is a group of two or more proteins. Protein complexes are a form of quaternary structure. Proteins in a protein complex are linked by non-covalent protein-protein interactions, and different protein complexes have different degrees of stability over time....

    Complex (psychology)

    In psychology a complex is a group of mental factors that are unconsciously associated by the individual with a particular subject or connected by a recognizable theme and influence the individual's attitude and behavior....

  • Complex (taxonomy), in biology, a cluster of species so closely related that they intergrade, can interbreed, and are difficult to firmly distinguish except at the extremes of their ranges
  • A group of organisms involved in mimicry, being made of one or more mimics, models or dupes

    Imaginary number

    In mathematics, an imaginary number is a complex number whose square value is a real number not greater than zero. The imaginary unit, denoted by i or j, is an example of an imaginary number....

    Complex system

    A complex system is a system composed of interconnected parts that as a whole exhibit one or more properties not obvious from the properties of the individual parts....
    , a system of interconnected simple parts that together exhibit a high degree of computational complexity from which emerges a higher order behavior

    Simplicial complex

    In mathematics, a simplicial complex is a topological space of a particular kind, constructed by "gluing together" Point s, line segments, triangles, and their n-dimensional counterparts ....
    , a kind of topological space that can be divided into fully adjacent triangles, or more generally, into simplices
  • CW complex
    CW complex

    In topology, a CW complex is a type of topological space introduced by J. H. C. Whitehead to meet the needs of homotopy theory. The idea was to have a class of spaces that was broader than simplicial complexes , but still retained a combinatorial nature, so that computational considerations were not ignored....
