invariant (comparative more invariant, superlative most invariant)

1. Not varying; constant.

   Synonym: invariable

2. (mathematics) Unaffected by a specified operation, especially by a transformation.
   • 2015, A. Rod Gover, Vladimir S. Matveev, “Projectively related metrics, Weyl nullity, and metric projectively invariant equations”, in arXiv‎:

     The fundamental 2-tensor also leads to a new class of invariant linear differential operators that are canonically associated to these geometries; included is a third equation studied by Gallot et al. We apply the results to study the metrisability equation, in the nullity setting described.

3. (programming) Neither covariant nor contravariant.
