    For example, squares (resp. triangles) have 4 sides (resp. 3 sides); or compact (resp. Lindelöf) spaces are ones where every open cover has a finite (resp. countable) open subcover. sharp Often, a mathematical theorem will establish constraints on the behavior of some object; for example, a function will be shown to have an upper or lower bound.

    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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeros_and_poles

    Technically, a point z 0 is a pole of a function f if it is a zero of the function 1/f and 1/f is holomorphic (i.e. complex differentiable) in some neighbourhood of z 0. A function f is meromorphic in an open set U if for every point z of U there is a neighborhood of z in which at least one of f and 1/ f is holomorphic.

  5. Rational function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_function

    A complex rational function with degree one is a Möbius transformation. Rational functions are representative examples of meromorphic functions. [3] Iteration of rational functions on the Riemann sphere (i.e. a rational mapping) creates discrete dynamical systems. [4] Julia sets for rational maps

(Also written as arcsch.) arcosh – inverse hyperbolic cosine function. arcoth – inverse hyperbolic cotangent function. arcsch – inverse hyperbolic cosecant function.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piecewise_function

    In applied mathematical analysis, "piecewise-regular" functions have been found to be consistent with many models of the human visual system, where images are perceived at a first stage as consisting of smooth regions separated by edges (as in a cartoon); [9] a cartoon-like function is a C 2 function, smooth except for the existence of ...

    Berthoz, Alain (2012). Simplexity: Simplifying Principles for a Complex World; Dan Geesin first used the term 'Simplexity' in his essay 'The melancholy of the set square', 2002, when describing how technology creates more distance through complex interfaces whilst performing a simple task. For example, getting money from a bank machine.
