How are Repository names resolved when two functions need the same name?

Posted 1 year ago

Currently the Function Repository has a tetration function where tetration is defined for the whole numbers. I am completing a new Function Repository entry where tetration is defined for the complex numbers. How should a potential name collision be resolved? Possible solutions are:

  • Have my entry supersede the original entry. Not diplomatic.
  • Connect with the original author to see about having a new joint tetration release.
  • Name my entry something like ComplexTetration.

Is there existing policy for dealing with these situations?

Option 2 and 3, old ones are not superseded. I chose for option 3: GeneralizedChaosGame because ChaosGame was already taken.
