    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 ((), ()) = = ((), ()).

  3. 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 ...

  4. Rolle's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolle's_theorem

    The graph of the absolute value function. If differentiability fails at an interior point of the interval, the conclusion of Rolle's theorem may not hold. Consider the absolute value function = | |, [,]. Then f (−1) = f (1), but there is no c between −1 and 1 for which the f ′(c) is zero.

    The mapping that associates the result of this substitution to the substituted value is a function, called a polynomial function. This can be expressed more concisely by using summation notation : ∑ k = 0 n a k x k {\displaystyle \sum _{k=0}^{n}a_{k}x^{k}} That is, a polynomial can either be zero or can be written as the sum of a finite ...

    The lowest value a function attains. absolute value The absolute value or modulus |x| of a real number x is the non-negative value of x without regard to its sign. Namely, |x| = x for a positive x, |x| = −x for a negative x (in which case −x is positive), and |0| = 0. For example, the absolute value of 3 is 3, and the absolute value of −3 ...

    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 ...

  9. 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:
