In calculus and real analysis, absolute continuity is a smoothness property of functions that is stronger than continuity and uniform continuity.The notion of absolute continuity allows one to obtain generalizations of the relationship between the two central operations of calculus—differentiation and integration.
Graphs of functions commonly used in the analysis of algorithms, showing the number of operations N as the result of input size n for each function. In theoretical computer science, the time complexity is the computational complexity that describes the amount of computer time it takes to run an algorithm.
