  2. Continuous function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_function

    the sinc-function becomes a continuous function on all real numbers. The term removable singularity is used in such cases when (re)defining values of a function to coincide with the appropriate limits make a function continuous at specific points. A more involved construction of continuous functions is the function composition.

  3. Intermediate value theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_value_theorem

    Intermediate value theorem: Let be a continuous function defined on [,] and let be a number with () < < ().Then there exists some between and such that () =.. In mathematical analysis, the intermediate value theorem states that if is a continuous function whose domain contains the interval [a, b], then it takes on any given value between () and () at some point within the interval.

  4. Maximum theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_theorem

    Then, () is the maximized value of the function and is the set of points that maximize . The result is that if the elements of an optimization problem are sufficiently continuous, then some, but not all, of that continuity is preserved in the solutions.

  5. Absolutely and completely monotonic functions and sequences

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolutely_and_completely...

    A function that is absolutely monotonic on [,) can be extended to a function that is not only analytic on the real line but is even the restriction of an entire function to the real line. The big Bernshtein theorem : A function f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} that is absolutely monotonic on ( − ∞ , 0 ] {\displaystyle (-\infty ,0]} can be ...

  6. Real-valued function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-valued_function

    The extreme value theorem states that for any real continuous function on a compact space its global maximum and minimum exist. The concept of metric space itself is defined with a real-valued function of two variables, the metric, which is continuous. The space of continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space has a particular importance.

  7. Continuous function (set theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_function_(set...

    Alternatively, if s is an increasing function then s is continuous if s: γ → range(s) is a continuous function when the sets are each equipped with the order topology. These continuous functions are often used in cofinalities and cardinal numbers. A normal function is a function that is both continuous and strictly increasing.

  8. Tietze extension theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tietze_extension_theorem

    Pavel Urysohn. In topology, the Tietze extension theorem (also known as the Tietze–Urysohn–Brouwer extension theorem or Urysohn-Brouwer lemma [1]) states that any real-valued, continuous function on a closed subset of a normal topological space can be extended to the entire space, preserving boundedness if necessary.

  9. Uniform continuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_continuity

    The difference between uniform continuity and (ordinary) continuity is that, in uniform continuity there is a globally applicable (the size of a function domain interval over which function value differences are less than ) that depends on only , while in (ordinary) continuity there is a locally applicable that depends on both and . So uniform ...
