  2. Differentiable function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiable_function

    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 continuous at x 0. In particular, any differentiable function must ...

  3. Critical point (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A critical point of a function of a single real variable, f (x), is a value x 0 in the domain of f where f is not differentiable or its derivative is 0 (i.e. ′ =). [2] A critical value is the image under f of a critical point.

  4. Weierstrass function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weierstrass_function

    Moreover, the fact that the set of non-differentiability points for a monotone function is measure-zero implies that the rapid oscillations of Weierstrass' function are necessary to ensure that it is nowhere-differentiable. The Weierstrass function was one of the first fractals studied, although this term was not used until much later. The ...

  5. Classification of discontinuities - Wikipedia

    The function in example 1, a removable discontinuity. Consider the piecewise function = {< = >. The point = is a removable discontinuity.For this kind of discontinuity: The one-sided limit from the negative direction: = and the one-sided limit from the positive direction: + = + at both exist, are finite, and are equal to = = +.

  6. Rademacher's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rademacher's_theorem

    In mathematical analysis, Rademacher's theorem, named after Hans Rademacher, states the following: If U is an open subset of R n and f: U → R m is Lipschitz continuous, then f is differentiable almost everywhere in U; that is, the points in U at which f is not differentiable form a set of Lebesgue measure zero. Differentiability here refers ...

  7. Analytic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_function

    The converse is not true for real functions; in fact, in a certain sense, the real analytic functions are sparse compared to all real infinitely differentiable functions. For the complex numbers, the converse does hold, and in fact any function differentiable once on an open set is analytic on that set (see "analyticity and differentiability ...

  8. Semi-differentiability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-differentiability

    A function is differentiable at an interior point a of its domain if and only if it is semi-differentiable at a and the left derivative is equal to the right derivative. An example of a semi-differentiable function, which is not differentiable, is the absolute value function () = | |, at a = 0.

  9. Subderivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subderivative

    Rigorously, a subderivative of a convex function : at a point in the open interval is a real number such that () for all .By the converse of the mean value theorem, the set of subderivatives at for a convex function is a nonempty closed interval [,], where and are the one-sided limits = (), = + ().
