  2. History of the function concept - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_function...

    On p. 77 (op. cit.) Bourbaki states (literal translation): "Often we shall use, in the remainder of this Treatise, the word function instead of functional graph." Suppes (1960) in Axiomatic Set Theory, formally defines a relation (p. 57) as a set of pairs, and a function (p. 86) as a relation where no two pairs have the same first member.

  3. AP World History: Modern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_World_History:_Modern

    AP World History: Modern was designed to help students develop a greater understanding of the evolution of global processes and contacts as well as interactions between different human societies. The course advances understanding through a combination of selective factual knowledge and appropriate analytical skills.

  4. Approximately continuous function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximately_continuous...

    A fundamental result in the theory of approximately continuous functions is derived from Lusin's theorem, which states that every measurable function is approximately continuous at almost every point of its domain. [4] The concept of approximate continuity can be extended beyond measurable functions to arbitrary functions between metric spaces.

  5. Universal approximation theorem - Wikipedia

    Also, certain non-continuous activation functions can be used to approximate a sigmoid function, which then allows the above theorem to apply to those functions. For example, the step function works. In particular, this shows that a perceptron network with a single infinitely wide hidden layer can approximate arbitrary functions.

  6. Littlewood's three principles of real analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Littlewood's_three...

    Littlewood stated the principles in his 1944 Lectures on the Theory of Functions [1] as: . There are three principles, roughly expressible in the following terms: Every set is nearly a finite sum of intervals; every function (of class L p) is nearly continuous; every convergent sequence of functions is nearly uniformly convergent.

  7. Spectral theory of ordinary differential equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_theory_of...

    For an arbitrary function f define (,) = (()) (). f(x, λ) may be regarded as a differentiable map into the space of functions of bounded variation ρ; or equivalently as a differentiable map () into the Banach space E of bounded linear functionals dρ on C[α,β] whenever [α, β] is a compact subinterval of [1, ∞).

  8. Calculus of variations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_of_Variations

    The calculus of variations began with the work of Isaac Newton, such as with Newton's minimal resistance problem, which he formulated and solved in 1685, and later published in his Principia in 1687, [2] which was the first problem in the field to be formulated and correctly solved, [2] and was also one of the most difficult problems tackled by variational methods prior to the twentieth century.

    where is an arbitrary affine parameter and is an auxiliary parameter that can be viewed as an einbein field along the worldline. In the original Lagrangian with the square root the energy-momentum relation appears as a primary constraint that is also a first class constraint. In this reformulation this is no longer the case.
