In many cases, such as order theory, the inverse of the indicator function may be defined. This is commonly called the generalized Möbius function, as a generalization of the inverse of the indicator function in elementary number theory, the Möbius function. (See paragraph below about the use of the inverse in classical recursion theory.)
Such indicators have some special properties. For example, the following statements are all true for an indicator function that is trigonometrically convex at least on an interval (,): [1]: 55–57 [2]: 54–61
The above dyadic functions examples [left and right examples] (using the same / symbol, right example) demonstrate how Boolean values (0s and 1s) can be used as left arguments for the \ expand and / replicate functions to produce exactly opposite results.
In mathematics, the Dirichlet function [1] [2] is the indicator function of the set of rational numbers, i.e. () = if x is a rational number and () = if x is not a rational number (i.e. is an irrational number).
The strength of Lusin's theorem might not be readily apparent, as can be demonstrated by example. Consider Dirichlet function , that is the indicator function 1 Q : [ 0 , 1 ] → { 0 , 1 } {\displaystyle 1_{\mathbb {Q} }:[0,1]\to \{0,1\}} on the unit interval [ 0 , 1 ] {\displaystyle [0,1]} taking the value of one on the rationals, and zero ...
Another use of the Iverson bracket is to simplify equations with special cases. For example, the formula (,) = = is valid for n > 1 but is off by 1 / 2 for n = 1.To get an identity valid for all positive integers n (i.e., all values for which () is defined), a correction term involving the Iverson bracket may be added: (,) = = (() + [=])
In mathematics, a function on the real numbers is called a step function if it can be written as a finite linear combination of indicator functions of intervals. Informally speaking, a step function is a piecewise constant function having only finitely many pieces. An example of step functions (the red graph).
Monotone class theorem for functions — Let be a π-system that contains and let be a collection of functions from to with the following properties: If A ∈ A {\displaystyle A\in {\mathcal {A}}} then 1 A ∈ H {\displaystyle \mathbf {1} _{A}\in {\mathcal {H}}} where 1 A {\displaystyle \mathbf {1} _{A}} denotes the indicator function of A ...
