Dec 14, 2025 · Both discrete and continuous variables generally do have changing values—and a discrete variable can vary continuously with time. I am quite aware that discrete variables are those …

Dec 18, 2025 · I was recently going through General Topology by N. Bourbaki, and found the following definition of topological groups acting continuously on topological spaces (slightly rephrased) : A …

Jan 27, 2014 · To understand the difference between continuity and uniform continuity, it is useful to think of a particular example of a function that's continuous on $\mathbb R$ but not uniformly …

Dec 26, 2025 · Let (X, n) (X, n) be normed space and B B a basis (by basis I mean a set of vector such that every vector in X can be expressed in an essentially unique way as a finite linear combination of …

Apr 3, 2022 · So you can have continuous functions defined over rationals; but the rationals are not a continuum. Why not? The notion of a continuum has its roots in geometry, and -- in the barest …

Sep 18, 2020 · By differentiability theorem if partial derivatives exist and are continuous in a neighborhood of the point then (i.e. sufficient condition) the function is differentiable at that point.

Jan 8, 2017 · The reason one refers to this as "continuous spectrum" Historically had nothing to do with continuity; such spectrum was found to fill a continuum, rather than being discrete.

Jun 11, 2025 · 6 "Every metric is continuous" means that a metric $d$ on a space $X$ is a continuous function in the topology on the product $X \times X$ determined by $d$.

In either case, a function is continuous on its domain if it is continuous at every point in the domain. Thus a function can be continuous on either $ [a,b]$ or $ (a,b)$.

Apr 1, 2025 · It's more correct to say that he proved Jensen's Inequality (with arbitrary real weights) for functions which are midpoint convex and continuous. Of course, Jensen's Inequality with two …
