multigrade operator

A multigrade operator $ \Omega$ is a parametric operator with parameter $ k$ in the set $ \mathbb{N}$ of non-negative integers.

The application of a multigrade operator $ \Omega$ to a finite sequence of operands $ (x_1, \ldots, x_k)$ is typically denoted with the parameter $ k$ left tacit, as the appropriate application is implicit in the number of operands listed. Thus $ \Omega(x_1, \ldots, x_k)$ may be taken for $ \Omega_k(x_1, \ldots, x_k).$
