  2. Graph of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_of_a_function

    Given a function: from a set X (the domain) to a set Y (the codomain), the graph of the function is the set [4] = {(, ()):}, which is a subset of the Cartesian product.In the definition of a function in terms of set theory, it is common to identify a function with its graph, although, formally, a function is formed by the triple consisting of its domain, its codomain and its graph.

  3. Linear function (calculus) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_function_(calculus)

    The features of the graph = = + can be interpreted in terms of the variables x and y. The y -intercept is the initial value y = f ( 0 ) = b {\displaystyle y=f(0)=b} at x = 0 {\displaystyle x=0} . The slope a measures the rate of change of the output y per unit change in the input x .

  4. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In this case, an element x of the domain is represented by an interval of the x-axis, and the corresponding value of the function, f(x), is represented by a rectangle whose base is the interval corresponding to x and whose height is f(x) (possibly negative, in which case the bar extends below the x-axis).

  5. List of mathematical functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_functions

    Indicator function: maps x to either 1 or 0, depending on whether or not x belongs to some subset. Step function: A finite linear combination of indicator functions of half-open intervals. Heaviside step function: 0 for negative arguments and 1 for positive arguments. The integral of the Dirac delta function. Sawtooth wave; Square wave ...

  6. Linear function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_function

    The graph of such a function of one variable is a nonvertical line. a is frequently referred to as the slope of the line, and b as the intercept. If a > 0 then the gradient is positive and the graph slopes upwards. If a < 0 then the gradient is negative and the graph slopes downwards.

  7. Domain of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_of_a_function

    A function f from X to Y. The set of points in the red oval X is the domain of f. Graph of the real-valued square root function, f(x) = √ x, whose domain consists of all nonnegative real numbers. In mathematics, the domain of a function is the set of inputs accepted by the function.

  8. Convex function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_function

    Equivalently, a function is convex if its epigraph (the set of points on or above the graph of the function) is a convex set. In simple terms, a convex function graph is shaped like a cup (or a straight line like a linear function), while a concave function's graph is shaped like a cap .

  9. Closed graph property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_graph_property

    set-valued function with a closed graph. If F : X → 2 Y is a set-valued function between topological spaces X and Y then the following are equivalent: F has a closed graph (in X × Y); (definition) the graph of F is a closed subset of X × Y; and if Y is compact and Hausdorff then we may add to this list:
