Carathéodory function
Summary
Carathéodory_function
In mathematical analysis, a Carathéodory function (or Carathéodory integrand) is a multivariable function that allows us to solve the following problem effectively: A composition of two Lebesgue-measurable functions does not have to be Lebesgue-measurable as well. Nevertheless, a composition of a measurable function with a continuous function is indeed Lebesgue-measurable, but in many situations, continuity is a too restrictive assumption. Carathéodory functions are more general than continuous functions, but still allow a composition with Lebesgue-measurable function to be measurable. Carathéodory functions play a significant role in calculus of variation, and it is named after the Greek mathematician Constantin Carathéodory.

Hermitian function
Summary
Hermitian_symmetry
In mathematical analysis, a Hermitian function is a complex function with the property that its complex conjugate is equal to the original function with the variable changed in sign: f ∗ ( x ) = f ( − x ) {\displaystyle f^{*}(x)=f(-x)} (where the ∗ {\displaystyle ^{*}} indicates the complex conjugate) for all x {\displaystyle x} in the domain of f {\displaystyle f} . In physics, this property is referred to as PT symmetry. This definition extends also to functions of two or more variables, e.g., in the case that f {\displaystyle f} is a function of two variables it is Hermitian if f ∗ ( x 1 , x 2 ) = f ( − x 1 , − x 2 ) {\displaystyle f^{*}(x_{1},x_{2})=f(-x_{1},-x_{2})} for all pairs ( x 1 , x 2 ) {\displaystyle (x_{1},x_{2})} in the domain of f {\displaystyle f} . From this definition it follows immediately that: f {\displaystyle f} is a Hermitian function if and only if the real part of f {\displaystyle f} is an even function, the imaginary part of f {\displaystyle f} is an odd function.

Young measure
Summary
Young_measure
In mathematical analysis, a Young measure is a parameterized measure that is associated with certain subsequences of a given bounded sequence of measurable functions. They are a quantification of the oscillation effect of the sequence in the limit. Young measures have applications in the calculus of variations, especially models from material science, and the study of nonlinear partial differential equations, as well as in various optimization (or optimal control problems). They are named after Laurence Chisholm Young who invented them, already in 1937 in one dimension (curves) and later in higher dimensions in 1942.

Bounded domain
Summary
Closed_region
In mathematical analysis, a domain or region is a non-empty connected open set in a topological space, in particular any non-empty connected open subset of the real coordinate space Rn or the complex coordinate space Cn. A connected open subset of coordinate space is frequently used for the domain of a function, but in general, functions may be defined on sets that are not topological spaces. The basic idea of a connected subset of a space dates from the 19th century, but precise definitions vary slightly from generation to generation, author to author, and edition to edition, as concepts developed and terms were translated between German, French, and English works. In English, some authors use the term domain, some use the term region, some use both terms interchangeably, and some define the two terms slightly differently; some avoid ambiguity by sticking with a phrase such as non-empty connected open subset.

Equicontinuous linear maps
Summary
Equicontinuity
In mathematical analysis, a family of functions is equicontinuous if all the functions are continuous and they have equal variation over a given neighbourhood, in a precise sense described herein. In particular, the concept applies to countable families, and thus sequences of functions. Equicontinuity appears in the formulation of Ascoli's theorem, which states that a subset of C(X), the space of continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space X, is compact if and only if it is closed, pointwise bounded and equicontinuous.

Equicontinuous linear maps
Summary
Equicontinuity
As a corollary, a sequence in C(X) is uniformly convergent if and only if it is equicontinuous and converges pointwise to a function (not necessarily continuous a-priori). In particular, the limit of an equicontinuous pointwise convergent sequence of continuous functions fn on either metric space or locally compact space is continuous. If, in addition, fn are holomorphic, then the limit is also holomorphic. The uniform boundedness principle states that a pointwise bounded family of continuous linear operators between Banach spaces is equicontinuous.

Function of bounded variation
Summary
Bv_space
In mathematical analysis, a function of bounded variation, also known as BV function, is a real-valued function whose total variation is bounded (finite): the graph of a function having this property is well behaved in a precise sense. For a continuous function of a single variable, being of bounded variation means that the distance along the direction of the y-axis, neglecting the contribution of motion along x-axis, traveled by a point moving along the graph has a finite value. For a continuous function of several variables, the meaning of the definition is the same, except for the fact that the continuous path to be considered cannot be the whole graph of the given function (which is a hypersurface in this case), but can be every intersection of the graph itself with a hyperplane (in the case of functions of two variables, a plane) parallel to a fixed x-axis and to the y-axis. Functions of bounded variation are precisely those with respect to which one may find Riemann–Stieltjes integrals of all continuous functions.

Function of bounded variation
Summary
Bv_space
Another characterization states that the functions of bounded variation on a compact interval are exactly those f which can be written as a difference g − h, where both g and h are bounded monotone. In particular, a BV function may have discontinuities, but at most countably many.

Function of bounded variation
Summary
Bv_space
In the case of several variables, a function f defined on an open subset Ω of R n {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{n}} is said to have bounded variation if its distributional derivative is a vector-valued finite Radon measure. One of the most important aspects of functions of bounded variation is that they form an algebra of discontinuous functions whose first derivative exists almost everywhere: due to this fact, they can and frequently are used to define generalized solutions of nonlinear problems involving functionals, ordinary and partial differential equations in mathematics, physics and engineering. We have the following chains of inclusions for continuous functions over a closed, bounded interval of the real line: Continuously differentiable ⊆ Lipschitz continuous ⊆ absolutely continuous ⊆ continuous and bounded variation ⊆ differentiable almost everywhere

Metric differential
Summary
Metric_differential
In mathematical analysis, a metric differential is a generalization of a derivative for a Lipschitz continuous function defined on a Euclidean space and taking values in an arbitrary metric space. With this definition of a derivative, one can generalize Rademacher's theorem to metric space-valued Lipschitz functions.

Complete metric space
Summary
Completion_(topology)
In mathematical analysis, a metric space M is called complete (or a Cauchy space) if every Cauchy sequence of points in M has a limit that is also in M. Intuitively, a space is complete if there are no "points missing" from it (inside or at the boundary). For instance, the set of rational numbers is not complete, because e.g. 2 {\displaystyle {\sqrt {2}}} is "missing" from it, even though one can construct a Cauchy sequence of rational numbers that converges to it (see further examples below). It is always possible to "fill all the holes", leading to the completion of a given space, as explained below.

Modulus of continuity
Summary
Modulus_of_continuity
In mathematical analysis, a modulus of continuity is a function ω: → used to measure quantitatively the uniform continuity of functions. So, a function f: I → R admits ω as a modulus of continuity if and only if | f ( x ) − f ( y ) | ≤ ω ( | x − y | ) , {\displaystyle |f(x)-f(y)|\leq \omega (|x-y|),} for all x and y in the domain of f. Since moduli of continuity are required to be infinitesimal at 0, a function turns out to be uniformly continuous if and only if it admits a modulus of continuity. Moreover, relevance to the notion is given by the fact that sets of functions sharing the same modulus of continuity are exactly equicontinuous families. For instance, the modulus ω(t) := kt describes the k-Lipschitz functions, the moduli ω(t) := ktα describe the Hölder continuity, the modulus ω(t) := kt(|log t|+1) describes the almost Lipschitz class, and so on.

Modulus of continuity
Summary
Modulus_of_continuity
In general, the role of ω is to fix some explicit functional dependence of ε on δ in the (ε, δ) definition of uniform continuity. The same notions generalize naturally to functions between metric spaces. Moreover, a suitable local version of these notions allows to describe quantitatively the continuity at a point in terms of moduli of continuity.
c_eoemg8bybg99
Modulus of continuity
Summary
Modulus_of_continuity
A special role is played by concave moduli of continuity, especially in connection with extension properties, and with approximation of uniformly continuous functions. For a function between metric spaces, it is equivalent to admit a modulus of continuity that is either concave, or subadditive, or uniformly continuous, or sublinear (in the sense of growth). Actually, the existence of such special moduli of continuity for a uniformly continuous function is always ensured whenever the domain is either a compact, or a convex subset of a normed space. However, a uniformly continuous function on a general metric space admits a concave modulus of continuity if and only if the ratios d Y ( f ( x ) , f ( x ′ ) ) d X ( x , x ′ ) {\displaystyle {\frac {d_{Y}(f(x),f(x'))}{d_{X}(x,x')}}} are uniformly bounded for all pairs (x, x′) bounded away from the diagonal of X x X. The functions with the latter property constitute a special subclass of the uniformly continuous functions, that in the following we refer to as the special uniformly continuous functions. Real-valued special uniformly continuous functions on the metric space X can also be characterized as the set of all functions that are restrictions to X of uniformly continuous functions over any normed space isometrically containing X. Also, it can be characterized as the uniform closure of the Lipschitz functions on X.

Measure zero
Summary
Null_set
In mathematical analysis, a null set is a Lebesgue measurable set of real numbers that has measure zero. This can be characterized as a set that can be covered by a countable union of intervals of arbitrarily small total length. The notion of null set should not be confused with the empty set as defined in set theory.

Measure zero
Summary
Null_set
Although the empty set has Lebesgue measure zero, there are also non-empty sets which are null. For example, any non-empty countable set of real numbers has Lebesgue measure zero and therefore is null. More generally, on a given measure space M = ( X , Σ , μ ) {\displaystyle M=(X,\Sigma ,\mu )} a null set is a set S ∈ Σ {\displaystyle S\in \Sigma } such that μ ( S ) = 0. {\displaystyle \mu (S)=0.}

Positive invariant set
Summary
Positive_invariant_set
In mathematical analysis, a positively (or positive) invariant set is a set with the following properties: Suppose x ˙ = f ( x ) {\displaystyle {\dot {x}}=f(x)} is a dynamical system, x ( t , x 0 ) {\displaystyle x(t,x_{0})} is a trajectory, and x 0 {\displaystyle x_{0}} is the initial point. Let O := { x ∈ R n ∣ φ ( x ) = 0 } {\displaystyle {\mathcal {O}}:=\left\lbrace x\in \mathbb {R} ^{n}\mid \varphi (x)=0\right\rbrace } where φ {\displaystyle \varphi } is a real-valued function. The set O {\displaystyle {\mathcal {O}}} is said to be positively invariant if x 0 ∈ O {\displaystyle x_{0}\in {\mathcal {O}}} implies that x ( t , x 0 ) ∈ O ∀ t ≥ 0 {\displaystyle x(t,x_{0})\in {\mathcal {O}}\ \forall \ t\geq 0} In other words, once a trajectory of the system enters O {\displaystyle {\mathcal {O}}} , it will never leave it again.

Space-filling curves
Summary
Space-filling_curve
In mathematical analysis, a space-filling curve is a curve whose range reaches every point in a higher dimensional region, typically the unit square (or more generally an n-dimensional unit hypercube). Because Giuseppe Peano (1858–1932) was the first to discover one, space-filling curves in the 2-dimensional plane are sometimes called Peano curves, but that phrase also refers to the Peano curve, the specific example of a space-filling curve found by Peano. The closely related FASS curves (approximately space-Filling, self-Avoiding, Simple, and Self-similar curves) can be thought of as finite approximations of a certain type of space-filling curves.

Strong measure zero set
Summary
Strong_measure_zero_set
In mathematical analysis, a strong measure zero set is a subset A of the real line with the following property: for every sequence (εn) of positive reals there exists a sequence (In) of intervals such that |In| < εn for all n and A is contained in the union of the In. (Here |In| denotes the length of the interval In.) Every countable set is a strong measure zero set, and so is every union of countably many strong measure zero sets. Every strong measure zero set has Lebesgue measure 0.

Strong measure zero set
Summary
Strong_measure_zero_set
The Cantor set is an example of an uncountable set of Lebesgue measure 0 which is not of strong measure zero.Borel's conjecture states that every strong measure zero set is countable. It is now known that this statement is independent of ZFC (the Zermelo–Fraenkel axioms of set theory, which is the standard axiom system assumed in mathematics). This means that Borel's conjecture can neither be proven nor disproven in ZFC (assuming ZFC is consistent).

Strong measure zero set
Summary
Strong_measure_zero_set
Sierpiński proved in 1928 that the continuum hypothesis (which is now also known to be independent of ZFC) implies the existence of uncountable strong measure zero sets. In 1976 Laver used a method of forcing to construct a model of ZFC in which Borel's conjecture holds. These two results together establish the independence of Borel's conjecture.

Strong measure zero set
Summary
Strong_measure_zero_set
The following characterization of strong measure zero sets was proved in 1973: A set A ⊆ R has strong measure zero if and only if A + M ≠ R for every meagre set M ⊆ R.This result establishes a connection to the notion of strongly meagre set, defined as follows: A set M ⊆ R is strongly meagre if and only if A + M ≠ R for every set A ⊆ R of Lebesgue measure zero.The dual Borel conjecture states that every strongly meagre set is countable. This statement is also independent of ZFC. == References ==

Thin set (analysis)
Summary
Thin_set_(analysis)
In mathematical analysis, a thin set is a subset of n-dimensional complex space Cn with the property that each point has a neighbourhood on which some non-zero holomorphic function vanishes. Since the set on which a holomorphic function vanishes is closed and has empty interior (by the Identity theorem), a thin set is nowhere dense, and the closure of a thin set is also thin. The fine topology was introduced in 1940 by Henri Cartan to aid in the study of thin sets.

Improper integrals
Summary
Improper_integrals
In mathematical analysis, an improper integral is an extension of the notion of a definite integral to cases that violate the usual assumptions for that kind of integral. In the context of Riemann integrals (or, equivalently, Darboux integrals), this typically involves unboundedness, either of the set over which the integral is taken or of the integrand (the function being integrated), or both. It may also involve bounded but not closed sets or bounded but not continuous functions. While an improper integral is typically written symbolically just like a standard definite integral, it actually represents a limit of a definite integral or a sum of such limits; thus improper integrals are said to converge or diverge.

Improper integrals
Summary
Improper_integrals
If a regular definite integral (which may retronymically be called a proper integral) is worked out as if it is improper, the same answer will result. In the simplest case of a real-valued function of a single variable integrated in the sense of Riemann (or Darboux) over a single interval, improper integrals may be in any of the following forms: ∫ a ∞ f ( x ) d x {\displaystyle \int _{a}^{\infty }f(x)\,dx} ∫ − ∞ b f ( x ) d x {\displaystyle \int _{-\infty }^{b}f(x)\,dx} ∫ − ∞ ∞ f ( x ) d x {\displaystyle \int _{-\infty }^{\infty }f(x)\,dx} ∫ a b f ( x ) d x {\displaystyle \int _{a}^{b}f(x)\,dx} , where f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} is undefined or discontinuous somewhere on {\displaystyle } The first three forms are improper because the integrals are taken over an unbounded interval. (They may be improper for other reasons, as well, as explained below.)

Improper integrals
Summary
Improper_integrals
Such an integral is sometimes described as being of the "first" type or kind if the integrand otherwise satisfies the assumptions of integration. Integrals in the fourth form that are improper because f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} has a vertical asymptote somewhere on the interval {\displaystyle } may be described as being of the "second" type or kind. Integrals that combine aspects of both types are sometimes described as being of the "third" type or kind.In each case above, the improper integral must be rewritten using one or more limits, depending on what is causing the integral to be improper.

For example, in case 1, if f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} is continuous on the entire interval [ a , ∞ ) {\displaystyle [a,\infty )} , then ∫ a ∞ f ( x ) d x = lim b → ∞ ∫ a b f ( x ) d x . {\displaystyle \int _{a}^{\infty }f(x)\,dx=\lim _{b\to \infty }\int _{a}^{b}f(x)\,dx.} The limit on the right is taken to be the definition of the integral notation on the left.

Improper integrals
Summary
Improper_integrals
If f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} is only continuous on ( a , ∞ ) {\displaystyle (a,\infty )} and not at a {\displaystyle a} itself, then typically this is rewritten as ∫ a ∞ f ( x ) d x = lim t → a + ∫ t c f ( x ) d x + lim b → ∞ ∫ c b f ( x ) d x , {\displaystyle \int _{a}^{\infty }f(x)\,dx=\lim _{t\to a^{+}}\int _{t}^{c}f(x)\,dx+\lim _{b\to \infty }\int _{c}^{b}f(x)\,dx,} for any choice of c > a {\displaystyle c>a} . Here both limits must converge to a finite value for the improper integral to be said to converge. This requirement avoids the ambiguous case of adding positive and negative infinities (i.e., the " ∞ − ∞ {\displaystyle \infty -\infty } " indeterminate form).

Alternatively, an iterated limit could be used or a single limit based on the Cauchy principal value. If f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} is continuous on [ a , d ) {\displaystyle [a,d)} and ( d , ∞ ) {\displaystyle (d,\infty )} , with a discontinuity of any kind at d {\displaystyle d} , then ∫ a ∞ f ( x ) d x = lim t → d − ∫ a t f ( x ) d x + lim u → d + ∫ u c f ( x ) d x + lim b → ∞ ∫ c b f ( x ) d x , {\displaystyle \int _{a}^{\infty }f(x)\,dx=\lim _{t\to d^{-}}\int _{a}^{t}f(x)\,dx+\lim _{u\to d^{+}}\int _{u}^{c}f(x)\,dx+\lim _{b\to \infty }\int _{c}^{b}f(x)\,dx,} for any choice of c > d {\displaystyle c>d} .

The function f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} can have more discontinuities, in which case even more limits would be required (or a more complicated principal value expression). Cases 2–4 are handled similarly. See the examples below. Improper integrals can also be evaluated in the context of complex numbers, in higher dimensions, and in other theoretical frameworks such as Lebesgue integration or Henstock–Kurzweil integration. Integrals that are considered improper in one framework may not be in others.

Function of a real variable
Summary
Function_of_a_real_variable
In mathematical analysis, and applications in geometry, applied mathematics, engineering, and natural sciences, a function of a real variable is a function whose domain is the real numbers R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } , or a subset of R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } that contains an interval of positive length. Most real functions that are considered and studied are differentiable in some interval. The most widely considered such functions are the real functions, which are the real-valued functions of a real variable, that is, the functions of a real variable whose codomain is the set of real numbers. Nevertheless, the codomain of a function of a real variable may be any set.

The structure R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } -vector space of the codomain induces a structure of R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } -vector space on the functions.

If the codomain has a structure of R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } -algebra, the same is true for the functions. The image of a function of a real variable is a curve in the codomain. In this context, a function that defines curve is called a parametric equation of the curve. When the codomain of a function of a real variable is a finite-dimensional vector space, the function may be viewed as a sequence of real functions. This is often used in applications.

In mathematical analysis, and more specifically in functional analysis, a function space is a set of scalar-valued or vector-valued functions, which share a specific property and form a topological vector space. For example, the real smooth functions with a compact support (that is, they are zero outside some compact set) form a function space that is at the basis of the theory of distributions. Function spaces play a fundamental role in advanced mathematical analysis, by allowing the use of their algebraic and topological properties for studying properties of functions. For example, all theorems of existence and uniqueness of solutions of ordinary or partial differential equations result of the study of function spaces.

In mathematical analysis, asymptotic analysis, also known as asymptotics, is a method of describing limiting behavior. As an illustration, suppose that we are interested in the properties of a function f (n) as n becomes very large. If f(n) = n2 + 3n, then as n becomes very large, the term 3n becomes insignificant compared to n2. The function f(n) is said to be "asymptotically equivalent to n2, as n → ∞".

This is often written symbolically as f (n) ~ n2, which is read as "f(n) is asymptotic to n2". An example of an important asymptotic result is the prime number theorem. Let π(x) denote the prime-counting function (which is not directly related to the constant pi), i.e. π(x) is the number of prime numbers that are less than or equal to x. Then the theorem states that Asymptotic analysis is commonly used in computer science as part of the analysis of algorithms and is often expressed there in terms of big O notation.

If the function takes − ∞ {\displaystyle -\infty } as a value then − ∞ {\displaystyle -\infty } is necessarily the global minimum value and the minimization problem can be answered; this is ultimately the reason why the definition of "proper" requires that the function never take − ∞ {\displaystyle -\infty } as a value.

Extended real-valued function for which the minimization problem is not solved by any one of these three trivial cases are exactly those that are called proper. Many (although not all) results whose hypotheses require that the function be proper add this requirement specifically to exclude these trivial cases. If the problem is instead a maximization problem (which would be clearly indicated, such as by the function being concave rather than convex) then the definition of "proper" is defined in an analogous (albeit technically different) manner but with the same goal: to exclude cases where the maximization problem can be answered immediately. Specifically, a concave function g {\displaystyle g} is called proper if its negation − g , {\displaystyle -g,} which is a convex function, is proper in the sense defined above.

Parameter
Mathematical analysis
Parameter > Mathematical functions > Mathematical analysis
In mathematical analysis, integrals dependent on a parameter are often considered. These are of the form F ( t ) = ∫ x 0 ( t ) x 1 ( t ) f ( x ; t ) d x . {\displaystyle F(t)=\int _{x_{0}(t)}^{x_{1}(t)}f(x;t)\,dx.} In this formula, t is the argument of the function F, and on the right-hand side the parameter on which the integral depends.

Parameter > Mathematical functions > Mathematical analysis
When evaluating the integral, t is held constant, and so it is considered to be a parameter. If we are interested in the value of F for different values of t, we then consider t to be a variable. The quantity x is a dummy variable or variable of integration (confusingly, also sometimes called a parameter of integration).

Limit inferior
The case of sequences of real numbers
Limit_supremum > The case of sequences of real numbers
In mathematical analysis, limit superior and limit inferior are important tools for studying sequences of real numbers. Since the supremum and infimum of an unbounded set of real numbers may not exist (the reals are not a complete lattice), it is convenient to consider sequences in the affinely extended real number system: we add the positive and negative infinities to the real line to give the complete totally ordered set , which is a complete lattice.

Generalized Fourier series
Summary
Generalized_Fourier_series
In mathematical analysis, many generalizations of Fourier series have proved to be useful. They are all special cases of decompositions over an orthonormal basis of an inner product space. Here we consider that of square-integrable functions defined on an interval of the real line, which is important, among others, for interpolation theory.

Microlocalization functor
Summary
Microlocal_analysis
In mathematical analysis, microlocal analysis comprises techniques developed from the 1950s onwards based on Fourier transforms related to the study of variable-coefficients-linear and nonlinear partial differential equations. This includes generalized functions, pseudo-differential operators, wave front sets, Fourier integral operators, oscillatory integral operators, and paradifferential operators. The term microlocal implies localisation not only with respect to location in the space, but also with respect to cotangent space directions at a given point. This gains in importance on manifolds of dimension greater than one.

Nested sequence of closed intervals
The construction of the real numbers
Nested_sequences_of_intervals > The construction of the real numbers
In mathematical analysis, nested intervals provide one method of axiomatically introducing the real numbers as the completion of the rational numbers, being a necessity for discussing the concepts of continuity and differentiability. Historically, Isaac Newton's and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's discovery of differential and integral calculus from the late 1600s has posed a huge challenge for mathematicians trying to prove their methods rigorously; despite their success in physics, engineering and other sciences. The axiomatic description of nested intervals (or an equivalent axiom) has become an important foundation for the modern understanding of calculus. In the context of this article, R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } in conjunction with + {\displaystyle +} and ⋅ {\displaystyle \cdot } is an Archimedean ordered field, meaning the axioms of order and the Archimedean property hold.

Nullcline

Nullcline
In mathematical analysis, nullclines, sometimes called zero-growth isoclines, are encountered in a system of ordinary differential equations x 1 ′ = f 1 ( x 1 , … , x n ) {\displaystyle x_{1}'=f_{1}(x_{1},\ldots ,x_{n})} x 2 ′ = f 2 ( x 1 , … , x n ) {\displaystyle x_{2}'=f_{2}(x_{1},\ldots ,x_{n})} ⋮ {\displaystyle \vdots } x n ′ = f n ( x 1 , … , x n ) {\displaystyle x_{n}'=f_{n}(x_{1},\ldots ,x_{n})} where x ′ {\displaystyle x'} here represents a derivative of x {\displaystyle x} with respect to another parameter, such as time t {\displaystyle t} . The j {\displaystyle j} 'th nullcline is the geometric shape for which x j ′ = 0 {\displaystyle x_{j}'=0} . The equilibrium points of the system are located where all of the nullclines intersect. In a two-dimensional linear system, the nullclines can be represented by two lines on a two-dimensional plot; in a general two-dimensional system they are arbitrary curves.

P-variation
Summary
P-variation
In mathematical analysis, p-variation is a collection of seminorms on functions from an ordered set to a metric space, indexed by a real number p ≥ 1 {\displaystyle p\geq 1} . p-variation is a measure of the regularity or smoothness of a function. Specifically, if f: I → ( M , d ) {\displaystyle f:I\to (M,d)} , where ( M , d ) {\displaystyle (M,d)} is a metric space and I a totally ordered set, its p-variation is ‖ f ‖ p -var = ( sup D ∑ t k ∈ D d ( f ( t k ) , f ( t k − 1 ) ) p ) 1 / p {\displaystyle \|f\|_{p{\text{-var}}}=\left(\sup _{D}\sum _{t_{k}\in D}d(f(t_{k}),f(t_{k-1}))^{p}\right)^{1/p}} where D ranges over all finite partitions of the interval I. The p variation of a function decreases with p. If f has finite p-variation and g is an α-Hölder continuous function, then g ∘ f {\displaystyle g\circ f} has finite p α {\displaystyle {\frac {p}{\alpha }}} -variation. The case when p is one is called total variation, and functions with a finite 1-variation are called bounded variation functions.

Upper semi-continuous
Summary
Upper_semi-continuous
In mathematical analysis, semicontinuity (or semi-continuity) is a property of extended real-valued functions that is weaker than continuity. An extended real-valued function f {\displaystyle f} is upper (respectively, lower) semicontinuous at a point x 0 {\displaystyle x_{0}} if, roughly speaking, the function values for arguments near x 0 {\displaystyle x_{0}} are not much higher (respectively, lower) than f ( x 0 ) . {\displaystyle f\left(x_{0}\right).} A function is continuous if and only if it is both upper and lower semicontinuous. If we take a continuous function and increase its value at a certain point x 0 {\displaystyle x_{0}} to f ( x 0 ) + c {\displaystyle f\left(x_{0}\right)+c} for some c > 0 {\displaystyle c>0} , then the result is upper semicontinuous; if we decrease its value to f ( x 0 ) − c {\displaystyle f\left(x_{0}\right)-c} then the result is lower semicontinuous. The notion of upper and lower semicontinuous function was first introduced and studied by René Baire in his thesis in 1899.

In mathematical analysis, the Alexandrov theorem, named after Aleksandr Danilovich Aleksandrov, states that if U is an open subset of R n {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{n}} and f: U → R m {\displaystyle f\colon U\to \mathbb {R} ^{m}} is a convex function, then f {\displaystyle f} has a second derivative almost everywhere. In this context, having a second derivative at a point means having a second-order Taylor expansion at that point with a local error smaller than any quadratic.

Bessel–Clifford function
Summary
Bessel–Clifford_function
In mathematical analysis, the Bessel–Clifford function, named after Friedrich Bessel and William Kingdon Clifford, is an entire function of two complex variables that can be used to provide an alternative development of the theory of Bessel functions. If π ( x ) = 1 Π ( x ) = 1 Γ ( x + 1 ) {\displaystyle \pi (x)={\frac {1}{\Pi (x)}}={\frac {1}{\Gamma (x+1)}}} is the entire function defined by means of the reciprocal gamma function, then the Bessel–Clifford function is defined by the series C n ( z ) = ∑ k = 0 ∞ π ( k + n ) z k k ! {\displaystyle {\mathcal {C}}_{n}(z)=\sum _{k=0}^{\infty }\pi (k+n){\frac {z^{k}}{k!}}} The ratio of successive terms is z/k(n + k), which for all values of z and n tends to zero with increasing k. By the ratio test, this series converges absolutely for all z and n, and uniformly for all regions with bounded |z|, and hence the Bessel–Clifford function is an entire function of the two complex variables n and z.

Bohr–Mollerup theorem
Summary
Bohr–Mollerup_theorem
In mathematical analysis, the Bohr–Mollerup theorem is a theorem proved by the Danish mathematicians Harald Bohr and Johannes Mollerup. The theorem characterizes the gamma function, defined for x > 0 by Γ ( x ) = ∫ 0 ∞ t x − 1 e − t d t {\displaystyle \Gamma (x)=\int _{0}^{\infty }t^{x-1}e^{-t}\,\mathrm {d} t} as the only positive function f , with domain on the interval x > 0, that simultaneously has the following three properties: f (1) = 1, and f (x + 1) = x f (x) for x > 0 and f is logarithmically convex.A treatment of this theorem is in Artin's book The Gamma Function, which has been reprinted by the AMS in a collection of Artin's writings.The theorem was first published in a textbook on complex analysis, as Bohr and Mollerup thought it had already been proved.The theorem admits a far-reaching generalization to a wide variety of functions (that have convexity or concavity properties of any order).

Cauchy_index
In mathematical analysis, the Cauchy index is an integer associated to a real rational function over an interval. By the Routh–Hurwitz theorem, we have the following interpretation: the Cauchy index of r(x) = p(x)/q(x)over the real line is the difference between the number of roots of f(z) located in the right half-plane and those located in the left half-plane. The complex polynomial f(z) is such that f(iy) = q(y) + ip(y).We must also assume that p has degree less than the degree of q.

In mathematical analysis, the Dirichlet kernel, named after the German mathematician Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet, is the collection of periodic functions defined as where n is any nonnegative integer. The kernel functions are periodic with period 2 π {\displaystyle 2\pi } . The importance of the Dirichlet kernel comes from its relation to Fourier series. The convolution of Dn(x) with any function f of period 2π is the nth-degree Fourier series approximation to f, i.e., we have where is the kth Fourier coefficient of f. This implies that in order to study convergence of Fourier series it is enough to study properties of the Dirichlet kernel.

Foias constant
Summary
Foias_constant
In mathematical analysis, the Foias constant is a real number named after Ciprian Foias. It is defined in the following way: for every real number x1 > 0, there is a sequence defined by the recurrence relation x n + 1 = ( 1 + 1 x n ) n {\displaystyle x_{n+1}=\left(1+{\frac {1}{x_{n}}}\right)^{n}} for n = 1, 2, 3, .... The Foias constant is the unique choice α such that if x1 = α then the sequence diverges to infinity. For all other values of x1, the sequence is divergent as well, but it has two accumulation points: 1 and infinity. Numerically, it is α = 1.187452351126501 … {\displaystyle \alpha =1.187452351126501\ldots } .No closed form for the constant is known. When x1 = α then the growth rate of the sequence (xn) is given by the limit lim n → ∞ x n log ⁡ n n = 1 , {\displaystyle \lim _{n\to \infty }x_{n}{\frac {\log n}{n}}=1,} where "log" denotes the natural logarithm.The same methods used in the proof of the uniqueness of the Foias constant may also be applied to other similar recursive sequences.

In mathematical analysis, the Weierstrass approximation theorem states that every continuous function defined on a closed interval can be uniformly approximated as closely as desired by a polynomial function. Because polynomials are among the simplest functions, and because computers can directly evaluate polynomials, this theorem has both practical and theoretical relevance, especially in polynomial interpolation.

Summary
Stone-Weierstrass_theorem
His result is known as the Stone–Weierstrass theorem. The Stone–Weierstrass theorem generalizes the Weierstrass approximation theorem in two directions: instead of the real interval , an arbitrary compact Hausdorff space X is considered, and instead of the algebra of polynomial functions, a variety of other families of continuous functions on X {\displaystyle X} are shown to suffice, as is detailed below. The Stone–Weierstrass theorem is a vital result in the study of the algebra of continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space. Further, there is a generalization of the Stone–Weierstrass theorem to noncompact Tychonoff spaces, namely, any continuous function on a Tychonoff space is approximated uniformly on compact sets by algebras of the type appearing in the Stone–Weierstrass theorem and described below. A different generalization of Weierstrass' original theorem is Mergelyan's theorem, which generalizes it to functions defined on certain subsets of the complex plane.

Intermediate Value Theorem
Summary
Bolzano's_theorem
In mathematical analysis, the intermediate value theorem states that if f {\displaystyle f} is a continuous function whose domain contains the interval , then it takes on any given value between f ( a ) {\displaystyle f(a)} and f ( b ) {\displaystyle f(b)} at some point within the interval. This has two important corollaries: If a continuous function has values of opposite sign inside an interval, then it has a root in that interval (Bolzano's theorem). The image of a continuous function over an interval is itself an interval.

Local maxima
Summary
Maximum_and_minimum
In mathematical analysis, the maximum and minimum of a function are, respectively, the largest and smallest value taken by the function. Known generically as extremum, they may be defined either within a given range (the local or relative extrema) or on the entire domain (the global or absolute extrema) of a function. Pierre de Fermat was one of the first mathematicians to propose a general technique, adequality, for finding the maxima and minima of functions.

Local maxima
Summary
Maximum_and_minimum
As defined in set theory, the maximum and minimum of a set are the greatest and least elements in the set, respectively. Unbounded infinite sets, such as the set of real numbers, have no minimum or maximum. In statistics, the corresponding concept is the sample maximum and minimum.

Rising sun lemma
Summary
Rising_sun_lemma
In mathematical analysis, the rising sun lemma is a lemma due to Frigyes Riesz, used in the proof of the Hardy–Littlewood maximal theorem. The lemma was a precursor in one dimension of the Calderón–Zygmund lemma.The lemma is stated as follows: Suppose g is a real-valued continuous function on the interval and S is the set of x in such that there exists a y∈(x,b] with g(y) > g(x). (Note that b cannot be in S, though a may be.) Define E = S ∩ (a,b).Then E is an open set, and it may be written as a countable union of disjoint intervals E = ⋃ k ( a k , b k ) {\displaystyle E=\bigcup _{k}(a_{k},b_{k})} such that g(ak) = g(bk), unless ak = a ∈ S for some k, in which case g(a) < g(bk) for that one k. Furthermore, if x ∈ (ak,bk), then g(x) < g(bk).The colorful name of the lemma comes from imagining the graph of the function g as a mountainous landscape, with the sun shining horizontally from the right. The set E consist of points that are in the shadow.

Differentiability class
Summary
Parametric_continuity
In mathematical analysis, the smoothness of a function is a property measured by the number of continuous derivatives it has over some domain, called differentiability class. At the very minimum, a function could be considered smooth if it is differentiable everywhere (hence continuous). At the other end, it might also possess derivatives of all orders in its domain, in which case it is said to be infinitely differentiable and referred to as a C-infinity function (or C ∞ {\displaystyle C^{\infty }} function).
