Holonomic (introduced by H. Hertz in 1894 from the Greek ὅλος meaning whole, entire and νόμ-ος meaning law) may refer to:

Mathematics

• A holonomic basis for the tangent space of a differentiable manifold
• A holonomic system in which all constraints are holonomic constraints
• Holonomic constraints, which are expressible as a function of the coordinates $x_j$ and time $t$
• Holonomic module in the theory of D-modules
• Holonomic function, a smooth function in several variables that is a solution of a system of linear homogeneous differential equations with polynomial coefficients

Robotics

• Holonomicity of the relationship between the controllable and total degrees of freedom of a given robot

Other

• Holonomic brain theory, developed by Karl Pribram and David Bohm, modelling cognitive function as being guided by a matrix of neurological wave interference patterns
