  2. 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 ...

  3. Monotonic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotonic_function

    It is therefore not decreasing and not increasing, but it is neither non-decreasing nor non-increasing. A function f {\displaystyle f} is said to be absolutely monotonic over an interval ( a , b ) {\displaystyle \left(a,b\right)} if the derivatives of all orders of f {\displaystyle f} are nonnegative or all nonpositive at all points on the ...

  4. Interval (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    An interval is said to be bounded, if it is both left- and right-bounded; and is said to be unbounded otherwise. Intervals that are bounded at only one end are said to be half-bounded. The empty set is bounded, and the set of all reals is the only interval that is unbounded at both ends. Bounded intervals are also commonly known as finite ...

  5. 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 .

  6. Discontinuities of monotone functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discontinuities_of...

    Let be a real-valued monotone function defined on an interval. Then the set of discontinuities of the first kind is at most countable.. One can prove [5] [3] that all points of discontinuity of a monotone real-valued function defined on an interval are jump discontinuities and hence, by our definition, of the first kind.

  7. 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.

    Therefore, “a change in lifestyle, such as decreasing exercise or increasing consumption of fast foods, can drastically change cholesterol.” Smoking, stress, and alcohol consumption are other ...

  9. 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]
