Example 2: a function f is uniformly continuous on the semi-open interval [0,∞) if and only if it is continuous at the standard points of the interval, and in addition, the natural extension f* is microcontinuous at every positive infinite hyperreal point. Example 3: similarly, the failure of uniform continuity for the squaring function
In general, any infinite series is the limit of its partial sums. For example, an analytic function is the limit of its Taylor series, within its radius of convergence. = =. This is known as the harmonic series. [6]
respectively. If these limits exist at p and are equal there, then this can be referred to as the limit of f(x) at p. [7] If the one-sided limits exist at p, but are unequal, then there is no limit at p (i.e., the limit at p does not exist). If either one-sided limit does not exist at p, then the limit at p also does not exist.
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 = = +.
A functor G : C → D is said to lift limits for a diagram F : J → C if whenever (L, φ) is a limit of GF there exists a limit (L′, φ′) of F such that G(L′, φ′) = (L, φ). A functor G lifts limits of shape J if it lifts limits for all diagrams of shape J. One can therefore talk about lifting products, equalizers, pullbacks, etc.
The pointwise limit of a sequence of continuous functions may be a discontinuous function, but only if the convergence is not uniform. For example, f ( x ) = lim n → ∞ cos ( π x ) 2 n {\displaystyle f(x)=\lim _{n\to \infty }\cos(\pi x)^{2n}} takes the value 1 {\displaystyle 1} when x {\displaystyle x} is an integer and 0 {\displaystyle ...
An example of a differentiable function whose derivative is not continuous (at x = 0) is the function equal to (/) when x ≠ 0, and 0 when x = 0. An infinite sum of similar functions (scaled and displaced by rational numbers ) can even give a differentiable function whose derivative is discontinuous on a dense set.
Indeterminate form is a mathematical expression that can obtain any value depending on circumstances. In calculus, it is usually possible to compute the limit of the sum, difference, product, quotient or power of two functions by taking the corresponding combination of the separate limits of each respective function.
