  2. Continuity (fiction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuity_(fiction)

    In the first frame, Chaplin's character is seen carrying a trunk through a door, holding his hat behind him. In the immediately subsequent shot from the other side of the door, he is wearing the hat. Many continuity errors are subtle, such as minor changes between shots (like the level of drink in a glass or the length of a cigarette); these ...

  3. Lipschitz continuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipschitz_continuity

    Every Lipschitz continuous map is uniformly continuous, and hence continuous. More generally, a set of functions with bounded Lipschitz constant forms an equicontinuous set. The Arzelà–Ascoli theorem implies that if { f n } is a uniformly bounded sequence of functions with bounded Lipschitz constant, then it has a convergent subsequence.

  4. Consistent and inconsistent equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_and...

    The system + =, + = has exactly one solution: x = 1, y = 2 The nonlinear system + =, + = has the two solutions (x, y) = (1, 0) and (x, y) = (0, 1), while + + =, + + =, + + = has an infinite number of solutions because the third equation is the first equation plus twice the second one and hence contains no independent information; thus any value of z can be chosen and values of x and y can be ...

  5. Continuous function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_function

    That is, a function is Lipschitz continuous if there is a constant K such that the inequality ((), ()) (,) holds for any ,. [15] The Lipschitz condition occurs, for example, in the Picard–Lindelöf theorem concerning the solutions of ordinary differential equations.

  6. Uniform continuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_continuity

    The converse does not hold, since the function :, is, as seen above, not uniformly continuous, but it is continuous and thus Cauchy continuous. In general, for functions defined on unbounded spaces like R {\displaystyle R} , uniform continuity is a rather strong condition.

  7. Character theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_theory

    When θ is the trivial character of H, the induced character obtained is known as the permutation character of G (on the cosets of H). The general technique of character induction and later refinements found numerous applications in finite group theory and elsewhere in mathematics, in the hands of mathematicians such as Emil Artin , Richard ...

  8. Absolute continuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_continuity

    In calculus and real analysis, absolute continuity is a smoothness property of functions that is stronger than continuity and uniform continuity.The notion of absolute continuity allows one to obtain generalizations of the relationship between the two central operations of calculus—differentiation and integration.

  9. Continuous or discrete variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_or_discrete...

    In mathematics and statistics, a quantitative variable may be continuous or discrete if it is typically obtained by measuring or counting, respectively. [1] If it can take on two particular real values such that it can also take on all real values between them (including values that are arbitrarily or infinitesimally close together), the variable is continuous in that interval.
