    • 1997, Christopher Alan White,The Development of Ab Initio Methods for the Treatment of Large Molecules:
      The electron number constraint unlike the idempotency constraint can be represented by a single equation. For this reason, one can properly incorporate this constraint using a Lagrangemultiplier and defining an effective chemical potential
    • 2018, Lars Ljungqvist and Thomas J. Sargent,Recursive macroeconomic theory, 4th edition, MIT Press, page129:
      After studying a recursive formulation and the associated Bellman equation, in section 5.5 we analyze a Lagrangian formulation that provides useful insights about how Lagrangemultipliers on transition laws relate to gradients of value functions.
    • 2025 April 3, Felix Salmon, “How to read the White House's tariff formula”, inAxios‎[1]:
      But that can be ignored, because the USTR has set ε at 4 and φ at 0.25, so when computed give an overallmultiplier of 1 for the imports number. And multiplying by 1 makes no difference at all.
  2. (grammar) Anadjective indicating the number of times something is to be multiplied.
    Englishmultipliers include "double" and "triple".
  3. (economics) Aratio used to estimate total economic effect for a variety of economic activities.

      There is a second-round effect of crowding in higher private investment as public sector contractors tool up to meet the public contracts, and then a third – as all firms adjust to the higher level of demand by raising business investment levels – of more crowding in and so-called “multiplier effects”.
  4. (physics) Any of severaldevices used to enhance asignal
    1. (physics, obsolete) acoil; whenJohann Schweigger in 1820 invented the electric coil, increasing the electro-magnetic field from a single wire, this invention was called amultiplier.
  5. Amultiplier onion.
    • 1995, Marian Coonse,Onions, Leeks and Garlic: A Handbook for Gardeners, page52:
