The function in example 1, a removable discontinuity. Consider the piecewise function = {< = >. The point = is a removable discontinuity.For this kind of discontinuity: The one-sided limit from the negative direction: = and the one-sided limit from the positive direction: + = + at both exist, are finite, and are equal to = = +.
Macaulay's method (the double integration method) is a technique used in structural analysis to determine the deflection of Euler-Bernoulli beams.Use of Macaulay's technique is very convenient for cases of discontinuous and/or discrete loading.
A graph of a parabola with a removable singularity at x = 2. In complex analysis, a removable singularity of a holomorphic function is a point at which the function is undefined, but it is possible to redefine the function at that point in such a way that the resulting function is regular in a neighbourhood of that point.
The above example simply states that the function takes the value () for all x values larger than a. With this, all the forces acting on a beam can be added, with their respective points of action being the value of a. A particular case is the unit step function,
In magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), shocks and discontinuities are transition layers where properties of a plasma change from one equilibrium state to another. The relation between the plasma properties on both sides of a shock or a discontinuity can be obtained from the conservative form of the MHD equations, assuming conservation of mass, momentum, energy and of .
The MacCormack method is well suited for nonlinear equations (Inviscid Burgers equation, Euler equations, etc.) The order of differencing can be reversed for the time step (i.e., forward/backward followed by backward/forward). For nonlinear equations, this procedure provides the best results.
Conversely, by a differentiation theorem of Lebesgue, the jump function f is uniquely determined by the properties: [14] (1) being non-decreasing and non-positive; (2) having given jump data at its points of discontinuity x n; (3) satisfying the boundary condition f (a) = 0; and (4) having zero derivative almost everywhere.
The typical functional in the calculus of variations is an integral of the form J ( u ) = ∫ Ω F ( x , u ( x ) , ∇ u ( x ) ) d x {\displaystyle J(u)=\int _{\Omega }F(x,u(x),\nabla u(x))dx} where Ω {\displaystyle \Omega } is a subset of R n {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{n}} and F {\displaystyle F} is a real-valued function on Ω × R m × R ...
