  2. Absolutely and completely monotonic functions and sequences

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

    The little Bernshtein theorem: A function that is absolutely monotonic on a closed interval [,] can be extended to an analytic function on the interval defined by | | <. A function that is absolutely monotonic on [ 0 , ∞ ) {\displaystyle [0,\infty )} can be extended to a function that is not only analytic on the real line but is even the ...

  3. Monotonic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotonic_function

    It is therefore not decreasing and not increasing, but it is neither non-decreasing nor non-increasing. A function f {\displaystyle f} is said to be absolutely monotonic over an interval ( a , b ) {\displaystyle \left(a,b\right)} if the derivatives of all orders of f {\displaystyle f} are nonnegative or all nonpositive at all points on the ...

  4. Concave function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concave_function

    A differentiable function f is (strictly) concave on an interval if and only if its derivative function f ′ is (strictly) monotonically decreasing on that interval, that is, a concave function has a non-increasing (decreasing) slope. [3] [4] Points where concavity changes (between concave and convex) are inflection points. [5]

  5. Convex function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_function

    A differentiable function of one variable is convex on an interval if and only if its derivative is monotonically non-decreasing on that interval. If a function is differentiable and convex then it is also continuously differentiable .

  6. Monotone convergence theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotone_convergence_theorem

    The theorem states that if you have an infinite matrix of non-negative real numbers , such that the rows are weakly increasing and each is bounded , where the bounds are summable < then, for each column, the non decreasing column sums , are bounded hence convergent, and the limit of the column sums is equal to the sum of the "limit column ...

  7. Interval (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The union of two intervals is an interval if and only if they have a non-empty intersection or an open end-point of one interval is a closed end-point of the other, for example (,) [,] = (,]. If R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } is viewed as a metric space , its open balls are the open bounded intervals ( c + r , c − r ) , and its closed balls ...

  8. Discontinuities of monotone functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discontinuities_of...

    Let be a real-valued monotone function defined on an interval. Then the set of discontinuities of the first kind is at most countable.. One can prove [5] [3] that all points of discontinuity of a monotone real-valued function defined on an interval are jump discontinuities and hence, by our definition, of the first kind.

  9. Derivative test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative_test

    Stated precisely, suppose that f is a real-valued function defined on some open interval containing the point x and suppose further that f is continuous at x.. If there exists a positive number r > 0 such that f is weakly increasing on (x − r, x] and weakly decreasing on [x, x + r), then f has a local maximum at x.
