  2. Weierstrass function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weierstrass_function

    Despite being differentiable nowhere, the function is continuous: Since the terms of the infinite series which defines it are bounded by and this has finite sum for < <, convergence of the sum of the terms is uniform by the Weierstrass M-test with =.

  3. Pathological (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A classic example of a pathology is the Weierstrass function, a function that is continuous everywhere but differentiable nowhere. [1] The sum of a differentiable function and the Weierstrass function is again continuous but nowhere differentiable; so there are at least as many such functions as differentiable functions.

  4. Real analysis - Wikipedia

    Absolutely continuous functions are continuous: consider the case n = 1 in this definition. The collection of all absolutely continuous functions on I is denoted AC(I). Absolute continuity is a fundamental concept in the Lebesgue theory of integration, allowing the formulation of a generalized version of the fundamental theorem of calculus that ...

  5. Differentiable function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiable_function

    The absolute value function is continuous (i.e. it has no gaps). It is differentiable everywhere except at the point x = 0, where it makes a sharp turn as it crosses the y-axis. A cusp on the graph of a continuous function. At zero, the function is continuous but not differentiable. If f is differentiable at a point x 0, then f must also be ...

  6. Continuous function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_function

    A function is continuous on a semi-open or a closed interval; if the interval is contained in the domain of the function, the function is continuous at every interior point of the interval, and the value of the function at each endpoint that belongs to the interval is the limit of the values of the function when the variable tends to the ...

    differentiable function A differentiable function of one real variable is a function whose derivative exists at each point in its domain. As a result, the graph of a differentiable function must have a (non-vertical) tangent line at each point in its domain, be relatively smooth, and cannot contain any breaks, bends, or cusps. differential ...

  8. 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.

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...
