Two variants of the topologist's sine curve have other interesting properties. The closed topologist's sine curve can be defined by taking the topologist's sine curve and adding its set of limit points, {(,) [,]}; some texts define the topologist's sine curve itself as this closed version, as they prefer to use the term 'closed topologist's sine curve' to refer to another curve. [1]
The function = {< has a limit at every non-zero x-coordinate (the limit equals 1 for negative x and equals 2 for positive x). The limit at x = 0 does not exist (the left-hand limit equals 1, whereas the right-hand limit equals 2).
On the other hand, if X is the domain of a function f(x) and if the limit as n approaches infinity of f(x n) is L for every arbitrary sequence of points {x n} in X − x 0 which converges to x 0, then the limit of the function f(x) as x approaches x 0 is equal to L. [10] One such sequence would be {x 0 + 1/n}.
It is an interpolating function, i.e., sinc(0) = 1, and sinc(k) = 0 for nonzero integer k. The functions x k (t) = sinc(t − k) (k integer) form an orthonormal basis for bandlimited functions in the function space L 2 (R), with highest angular frequency ω H = π (that is, highest cycle frequency f H = 1 / 2 ). Other properties of the ...

For example, the upper right branch of the curve y = 1/x can be defined parametrically as x = t, y = 1/t (where t > 0). First, x → ∞ as t → ∞ and the distance from the curve to the x-axis is 1/t which approaches 0 as t → ∞. Therefore, the x-axis is an asymptote of the curve.
The expression + obtained from considering () gives the limit , provided that () remains nonnegative as approaches . The expression 0 − ∞ {\displaystyle 0^{-\infty }} is similarly equivalent to 1 / 0 {\displaystyle 1/0} ; if f ( x ) > 0 {\displaystyle f(x)>0} as x {\displaystyle x} approaches c {\displaystyle c} , the limit comes out as ...
This means that if |g(x)| diverges to infinity as x approaches c and both f and g satisfy the hypotheses of L'Hôpital's rule, then no additional assumption is needed about the limit of f(x): It could even be the case that the limit of f(x) does not exist. In this case, L'Hopital's theorem is actually a consequence of Cesàro–Stolz.
