  2. Differentiable function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiable_function

    The absolute value function is continuous (i.e. it has no gaps). It is differentiable everywhere except at the point x = 0, where it makes a sharp turn as it crosses the y-axis. A cusp on the graph of a continuous function. At zero, the function is continuous but not differentiable. If f is differentiable at a point x 0, then f must also be ...

  3. Fundamental lemma of the calculus of variations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_lemma_of_the...

    If a continuous function on an open interval (,) satisfies the equality () =for all compactly supported smooth functions on (,), then is identically zero. [1] [2]Here "smooth" may be interpreted as "infinitely differentiable", [1] but often is interpreted as "twice continuously differentiable" or "continuously differentiable" or even just "continuous", [2] since these weaker statements may be ...

  4. Lipschitz continuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipschitz_continuity

    The function f(x) = √ x defined on [0, 1] is not Lipschitz continuous. This function becomes infinitely steep as x approaches 0 since its derivative becomes infinite. However, it is uniformly continuous, [ 8 ] and both Hölder continuous of class C 0, α for α ≤ 1/2 and also absolutely continuous on [0, 1] (both of which imply the former).

  5. Semi-differentiability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-differentiability

    If a function is semi-differentiable at a point a, it implies that it is continuous at a. The indicator function 1 [0,∞) is right differentiable at every real a, but discontinuous at zero (note that this indicator function is not left differentiable at zero).

  6. Rolle's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolle's_theorem

    Then f (−1) = f (1), but there is no c between −1 and 1 for which the f ′(c) is zero. This is because that function, although continuous, is not differentiable at x = 0. The derivative of f changes its sign at x = 0, but without attaining the value 0.

  7. Smoothness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoothness

    The function : with () = ⁡ for and () = is differentiable. However, this function is not continuously differentiable. A smooth function that is not analytic. The function = {, < is continuous, but not differentiable at x = 0, so it is of class C 0, but not of class C 1.

  8. Weierstrass function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weierstrass_function

    The Weierstrass function has historically served the role of a pathological function, being the first published example (1872) specifically concocted to challenge the notion that every continuous function is differentiable except on a set of isolated points. [1]
