  2. Absolute value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value

    The real absolute value function is an example of a continuous function that achieves a global minimum where the derivative does not exist. The subdifferential of | x | at x = 0 is the interval [−1, 1]. [14] The complex absolute value function is continuous everywhere but complex differentiable nowhere because it violates the Cauchy–Riemann ...

  3. Absolute value (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value_(algebra)

    The standard absolute value on the integers. The standard absolute value on the complex numbers.; The p-adic absolute value on the rational numbers.; If R is the field of rational functions over a field F and () is a fixed irreducible polynomial over F, then the following defines an absolute value on R: for () in R define | | to be , where () = () and ((), ()) = = ((), ()).

  4. Absolutely integrable function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolutely_integrable_function

    Then | | + + + + + | | so | | + + + + + | | This shows that the sum of the four integrals (in the middle) is finite if and only if the integral of the absolute value is finite, and the function is Lebesgue integrable only if all the four integrals are finite. So having a finite integral of the absolute value is equivalent to the conditions for ...

  5. Extreme value theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_value_theorem

    A continuous function () on the closed interval [,] showing the absolute max (red) and the absolute min (blue). In calculus , the extreme value theorem states that if a real-valued function f {\displaystyle f} is continuous on the closed and bounded interval [ a , b ] {\displaystyle [a,b]} , then f {\displaystyle f} must attain a maximum and a ...

  6. Ostrowski's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostrowski's_theorem

    In number theory, Ostrowski's theorem, due to Alexander Ostrowski (1916), states that every non-trivial absolute value on the rational numbers is equivalent to either the usual real absolute value or a p-adic absolute value. [1]

  7. Absolute convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_convergence

    The same definition can be used for series = whose terms are not numbers but rather elements of an arbitrary abelian topological group.In that case, instead of using the absolute value, the definition requires the group to have a norm, which is a positive real-valued function ‖ ‖: + on an abelian group (written additively, with identity element 0) such that:

  8. Absolute difference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_difference

    The absolute difference of two real numbers and is given by | |, the absolute value of their difference. It describes the distance on the real line between the points corresponding to x {\displaystyle x} and y {\displaystyle y} .

  9. Absolute number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_number

    Absolute zero, the lowest limit of the thermodynamic temperature scale; Absolute magnitude, a measure of the luminosity of a celestial object; Relative change and difference, used to compare two quantities taking into account the "sizes" of the things being compared; Absolute (disambiguation) Number (disambiguation)
