  2. Differentiable function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiable_function

    A differentiable function. In mathematics, a differentiable function of one real variable is a function whose derivative exists at each point in its domain.In other words, the graph of a differentiable function has a non-vertical tangent line at each interior point in its domain.

  3. Differential of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_of_a_function

    Product rule: For two differentiable functions f and g, () = +. An operation d with these two properties is known in abstract algebra as a derivation . They imply the power rule d ( f n ) = n f n − 1 d f {\displaystyle d(f^{n})=nf^{n-1}df} In addition, various forms of the chain rule hold, in increasing level of generality: [ 12 ]

  4. Differential (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, differential refers to several related notions [1] derived from the early days of calculus, put on a rigorous footing, such as infinitesimal differences and the derivatives of functions. [2] The term is used in various branches of mathematics such as calculus, differential geometry, algebraic geometry and algebraic topology.

  5. Strict differentiability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strict_differentiability

    In mathematics, strict differentiability is a modification of the usual notion of differentiability of functions that is particularly suited to p-adic analysis. In short, the definition is made more restrictive by allowing both points used in the difference quotient to "move".

  6. Rolle's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolle's_theorem

    This function is continuous on the closed interval [−r, r] and differentiable in the open interval (−r, r), but not differentiable at the endpoints −r and r. Since f (− r ) = f ( r ) , Rolle's theorem applies, and indeed, there is a point where the derivative of f is zero.

  7. Direct method in the calculus of variations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_method_in_the...

    The argument of is a differentiable function :, and its Jacobian is identified with a -vector. When deriving the Euler–Lagrange equation, the common approach is to assume Ω {\displaystyle \Omega } has a C 2 {\displaystyle C^{2}} boundary and let the domain of definition for J {\displaystyle J} be C 2 ( Ω , R m ) {\displaystyle C^{2}(\Omega ...

  8. Darboux's theorem (analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darboux's_theorem_(analysis)

    It states that every function that results from the differentiation of another function has the intermediate value property: the image of an interval is also an interval. When ƒ is continuously differentiable ( ƒ in C 1 ([ a , b ])), this is a consequence of the intermediate value theorem .

  9. Analytic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_function

    In mathematics, an analytic function is a function that is locally given by a convergent power series. There exist both real analytic functions and complex analytic functions . Functions of each type are infinitely differentiable , but complex analytic functions exhibit properties that do not generally hold for real analytic functions.
