  2. Absolute value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value

    The real absolute value function is an example of a continuous function that achieves a global minimum where the derivative does not exist. The subdifferential of | x | at x = 0 is the interval [−1, 1]. [14] The complex absolute value function is continuous everywhere but complex differentiable nowhere because it violates the Cauchy–Riemann ...

  3. Absolute value (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value_(algebra)

    The standard absolute value on the integers. The standard absolute value on the complex numbers.; The p-adic absolute value on the rational numbers.; If R is the field of rational functions over a field F and () is a fixed irreducible polynomial over F, then the following defines an absolute value on R: for () in R define | | to be , where () = () and ((), ()) = = ((), ()).

  4. Valuation (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valuation_(algebra)

    our "absolute value" (satisfying the triangle inequality) is called a "valuation" or an "Archimedean absolute value". ... The most basic example is the p-adic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_function

    For example, the absolute value function is identical to in the region >, whose derivative is the constant value +1, which equals the value of ⁡ there. Because the absolute value is a convex function , there is at least one subderivative at every point, including at the origin.

    They do, however, share an attribute with the reals, which is called absolute value or magnitude. Magnitudes are always non-negative real numbers, and to any non-zero number there belongs a positive real number, its absolute value. For example, the absolute value of −3 and the absolute value of 3 are both equal to 3.

  7. Magnitude (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnitude_(mathematics)

    The absolute value of a real number r is defined by: [4] | | =, | | =, < Absolute value may also be thought of as the number's distance from zero on the real number line. For example, the absolute value of both 70 and −70 is 70.

  8. Archimedean property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedean_property

    The field of the rational numbers endowed with the p-adic metric and the p-adic number fields which are the completions, do not have the Archimedean property as fields with absolute values. All Archimedean valued fields are isometrically isomorphic to a subfield of the complex numbers with a power of the usual absolute value. [6]

  9. Absolutely integrable function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolutely_integrable_function

    Then | | + + + + + | | so | | + + + + + | | This shows that the sum of the four integrals (in the middle) is finite if and only if the integral of the absolute value is finite, and the function is Lebesgue integrable only if all the four integrals are finite. So having a finite integral of the absolute value is equivalent to the conditions for ...
