  2. Positive and negative parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_and_negative_parts

    The converse, though, does not necessarily hold: for example, taking f as =, where V is a Vitali set, it is clear that f is not measurable, but its absolute value is, being a constant function. The positive part and negative part of a function are used to define the Lebesgue integral for a real-valued function.

  3. Extended real number line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_real_number_line

    In mathematics, the extended real number system [a] is obtained from the real number system by adding two elements denoted + and [b] that are respectively greater and lower than every real number. This allows for treating the potential infinities of infinitely increasing sequences and infinitely decreasing series as actual infinities .

  4. Real-valued function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-valued_function

    In mathematics, a real-valued function is a function whose values are real numbers. In other words, it is a function that assigns a real number to each member of its domain . Real-valued functions of a real variable (commonly called real functions ) and real-valued functions of several real variables are the main object of study of calculus and ...

    The image of a function f(x 1, x 2, …, x n) is the set of all values of f when the n-tuple (x 1, x 2, …, x n) runs in the whole domain of f.For a continuous (see below for a definition) real-valued function which has a connected domain, the image is either an interval or a single value.

  6. Semi-continuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-continuity

    In mathematical analysis, semicontinuity (or semi-continuity) is a property of extended real-valued functions that is weaker than continuity.An extended real-valued function is upper (respectively, lower) semicontinuous at a point if, roughly speaking, the function values for arguments near are not much higher (respectively, lower) than ().

  7. Proper convex function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_convex_function

    In convex analysis and variational analysis, a point (in the domain) at which some given function is minimized is typically sought, where is valued in the extended real number line [,] = {}. [1] Such a point, if it exists, is called a global minimum point of the function and its value at this point is called the global minimum (value) of the ...

  8. Set function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_function

    In mathematics, especially measure theory, a set function is a function whose domain is a family of subsets of some given set and that (usually) takes its values in the extended real number line {}, which consists of the real numbers and .

  9. Reproducing kernel Hilbert space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproducing_kernel_Hilbert...

    For ease of understanding, we provide the framework for real-valued Hilbert spaces. The theory can be easily extended to spaces of complex-valued functions and hence include the many important examples of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces that are spaces of analytic functions. [5]
