  2. Exponential growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_growth

    The amount of increase keeps increasing because it is proportional to the ever-increasing number of bacteria. Growth like this is observed in real-life activity or phenomena, such as the spread of virus infection, the growth of debt due to compound interest , and the spread of viral videos .

  3. Absolutely and completely monotonic functions and sequences

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolutely_and_completely...

    The little Bernshtein theorem: A function that is absolutely monotonic on a closed interval [,] can be extended to an analytic function on the interval defined by | | <. A function that is absolutely monotonic on [ 0 , ∞ ) {\displaystyle [0,\infty )} can be extended to a function that is not only analytic on the real line but is even the ...

  4. Interval (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In summary, a set of the real numbers is an interval, if and only if it is an open interval, a closed interval, or a half-open interval. [4] [5] A degenerate interval is any set consisting of a single real number (i.e., an interval of the form [a, a]). [6] Some authors include the empty set in this definition. A real interval that is neither ...

  5. Monotonic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotonic_function

    In calculus, a function defined on a subset of the real numbers with real values is called monotonic if it is either entirely non-decreasing, or entirely non-increasing. [2] That is, as per Fig. 1, a function that increases monotonically does not exclusively have to increase, it simply must not decrease.

  6. Exponential decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_decay

    Terms "partial half-life" and "partial mean life" denote quantities derived from a decay constant as if the given decay mode were the only decay mode for the quantity. The term "partial half-life" is misleading, because it cannot be measured as a time interval for which a certain quantity is halved.

  7. Concave function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concave_function

    A differentiable function f is (strictly) concave on an interval if and only if its derivative function f ′ is (strictly) monotonically decreasing on that interval, that is, a concave function has a non-increasing (decreasing) slope. [3] [4] Points where concavity changes (between concave and convex) are inflection points. [5]

  8. Derivative test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative_test

    Stated precisely, suppose that f is a real-valued function defined on some open interval containing the point x and suppose further that f is continuous at x. If there exists a positive number r > 0 such that f is weakly increasing on (x − r, x] and weakly decreasing on [x, x + r), then f has a local maximum at x.

  9. Monotone convergence theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotone_convergence_theorem

    The theorem states that if you have an infinite matrix of non-negative real numbers , such that the rows are weakly increasing and each is bounded , where the bounds are summable < then, for each column, the non decreasing column sums , are bounded hence convergent, and the limit of the column sums is equal to the sum of the "limit column ...
