Thomae's function: is a function that is continuous at all irrational numbers and discontinuous at all rational numbers. It is also a modification of Dirichlet function and sometimes called Riemann function. Kronecker delta function: is a function of two variables, usually integers, which is 1 if they are equal, and 0 otherwise.
One application is the definition of inverse trigonometric functions. For example, the cosine function is injective when restricted to the interval [0, π]. The image of this restriction is the interval [−1, 1], and thus the restriction has an inverse function from [−1, 1] to [0, π], which is called arccosine and is denoted arccos.
For every proper convex function : [,], there exist some and such that ()for every .. The sum of two proper convex functions is convex, but not necessarily proper. [4] For instance if the sets and are non-empty convex sets in the vector space, then the characteristic functions and are proper convex functions, but if = then + is identically equal to +.
A proper rational function is a rational function in which the degree of () ... Rational functions are representative examples of meromorphic functions. [3]
A strictly proper transfer function is a transfer function where the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator. The difference between the degree of the denominator (number of poles) and degree of the numerator (number of zeros) is the relative degree of the transfer function.
Examples: "Functions": include "common subtraction m − n" and "addition m + n" "Partial function": "Common subtraction" m − n is undefined when only natural numbers (positive integers and zero) are allowed as input – e.g. 6 − 7 is undefined Total function: "Addition" m + n is defined for all positive integers and zero.
For example, if : [,] is the Dirichlet function that is on irrational numbers and on rational numbers, and [,] is equipped with Lebesgue measure, then the support of is the entire interval [,], but the essential support of is empty, since is equal almost everywhere to the zero function.
For example, in the expression (f(x)-1)/(f(x)+1), the function f cannot be called only once with its value used two times since the two calls may return different results. Moreover, in the few languages which define the order of evaluation of the division operator's operands, the value of x must be fetched again before the second call, since ...
