  2. Root-finding algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm

    Thus root-finding algorithms can be used to solve any equation of continuous functions. However, most root-finding algorithms do not guarantee that they will find all roots of a function, and if such an algorithm does not find any root, that does not necessarily mean that no root exists.

  3. Continuous function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_function

    the sinc-function becomes a continuous function on all real numbers. The term removable singularity is used in such cases when (re)defining values of a function to coincide with the appropriate limits make a function continuous at specific points. A more involved construction of continuous functions is the function composition.

  4. Bisection method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection_method

    A few steps of the bisection method applied over the starting range [a 1;b 1].The bigger red dot is the root of the function. In mathematics, the bisection method is a root-finding method that applies to any continuous function for which one knows two values with opposite signs.

  5. Approximately continuous function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximately_continuous...

    A fundamental result in the theory of approximately continuous functions is derived from Lusin's theorem, which states that every measurable function is approximately continuous at almost every point of its domain. [4] The concept of approximate continuity can be extended beyond measurable functions to arbitrary functions between metric spaces.

  6. Continuous functional calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_functional_calculus

    If one wants to extend the natural functional calculus for polynomials on the spectrum of an element of a Banach algebra to a functional calculus for continuous functions (()) on the spectrum, it seems obvious to approximate a continuous function by polynomials according to the Stone-Weierstrass theorem, to insert the element into these polynomials and to show that this sequence of elements ...

  7. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    An antiderivative of a continuous real function is a real function that has the original function as a derivative. For example, the function x ↦ 1 x {\textstyle x\mapsto {\frac {1}{x}}} is continuous, and even differentiable, on the positive real numbers.

  8. Modulus of continuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulus_of_continuity

    A sublinear modulus of continuity can easily be found for any uniformly continuous function which is a bounded perturbation of a Lipschitz function: if f is a uniformly continuous function with modulus of continuity ω, and g is a k Lipschitz function with uniform distance r from f, then f admits the sublinear module of continuity min{ω(t), 2r ...

  9. Calculus of variations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_of_Variations

    The maxima and minima of a function may be located by finding the points where its derivative vanishes (i.e., is equal to zero). The extrema of functionals may be obtained by finding functions for which the functional derivative is equal to zero. This leads to solving the associated Euler–Lagrange equation. [g]
