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 ...
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 ((), ()) = = ((), ()).
Absolute difference, the absolute value of the difference of two real numbers Absolute pseudoprime , a class of pseudoprimes that come from Fermat's little theorem Absolute scale , system of measurement that begins at a zero point and progresses in only one direction
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.
In number theory, Ostrowski's theorem, due to Alexander Ostrowski (1916), states that every non-trivial absolute value on the rational numbers is equivalent to either the usual real absolute value or a p-adic absolute value. [1]
The complex numbers of absolute value one form the unit circle. Adding a fixed complex number to all complex numbers defines a translation in the complex plane, and multiplying by a fixed complex number is a similarity centered at the origin (dilating by the absolute value, and rotating by the argument).
The computation of (1 + iπ / N ) N is displayed as the combined effect of N repeated multiplications in the complex plane, with the final point being the actual value of (1 + iπ / N ) N. It can be seen that as N gets larger (1 + iπ / N ) N approaches a limit of −1. Euler's identity asserts that is equal to −1.
The graph of the absolute value function. If differentiability fails at an interior point of the interval, the conclusion of Rolle's theorem may not hold. Consider the absolute value function = | |, [,]. Then f (−1) = f (1), but there is no c between −1 and 1 for which the f ′(c) is zero.
