The term removable discontinuity is sometimes broadened to include a removable singularity, in which the limits in both directions exist and are equal, while the function is undefined at the point . [a] This use is an abuse of terminology because continuity and discontinuity of a function are concepts defined only for points in the function's ...
A graph of a parabola with a removable singularity at x = 2 In complex analysis , a removable singularity of a holomorphic function is a point at which the function is undefined , but it is possible to redefine the function at that point in such a way that the resulting function is regular in a neighbourhood of that point.
A removable discontinuity occurs when () = (+), also regardless of whether () is defined, and regardless of its value if it is defined (but which does not match that of the two limits). A type II discontinuity occurs when either f ( c − ) {\displaystyle f(c^{-})} or f ( c + ) {\displaystyle f(c^{+})} does not exist (possibly both).
The term removable discontinuity is sometimes broadened to include a removable singularity, in which the limits in both directions exist and are equal, while the function is undefined at the point This use is an abuse of terminology because continuity and discontinuity of a function are concepts defined only for points in the function's domain.

Singularity functions have been heavily studied in the field of mathematics under the alternative names of generalized functions and distribution theory. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The functions are notated with brackets, as x − a n {\displaystyle \langle x-a\rangle ^{n}} where n is an integer.
the fact that the radius of convergence is always the distance from the center to the nearest non-removable singularity; if there are no singularities (i.e., if is an entire function), then the radius of convergence is infinite. Strictly speaking, this is not a corollary of the theorem but rather a by-product of the proof.
Then f is a non-decreasing function on [a, b], which is continuous except for jump discontinuities at x n for n ≥ 1. In the case of finitely many jump discontinuities, f is a step function. The examples above are generalised step functions; they are very special cases of what are called jump functions or saltus-functions. [8] [9]
