  1. Continuous vs Discrete Variables - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    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 …

  2. What is a continuous extension? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    The continuous extension of f(x) f (x) at x = c x = c makes the function continuous at that point. Can you elaborate some more? I wasn't able to find very much on "continuous extension" throughout the web. …

  3. What's the difference between continuous and piecewise continuous ...

    Oct 15, 2016 · A continuous function is a function where the limit exists everywhere, and the function at those points is defined to be the same as the limit. I was looking at the image of a piecewise continuous

  4. Absolutely continuous functions - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Sep 5, 2012 · This might probably be classed as a soft question. But I would be very interested to know the motivation behind the definition of an absolutely continuous function. To state "A real valued …

  5. Difference between continuity and uniform continuity

    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 R R but not uniformly continuous on R R.

  6. The definition of continuously differentiable functions

    Jan 24, 2015 · Note the ending "-ly", which makes it an adverb, not an adjective. So "continuously differentiable" means "differentiable in a continuous way".

  7. probability theory - Why does a C.D.F need to be right-continuous ...

    May 10, 2019 · This function is always right-continuous. That is, for each x ∈ Rk x ∈ R k we have lima↓xFX(a) =FX(x) lim a ↓ x F X (a) = F X (x). My question is: Why is this property important? Is …

  8. How can I prove that a polynomial with degree $n$ is continuous ...

    Jul 24, 2016 · With induction. I can show that this polynomial is continuous at x0 x 0 but I do not know how to prove that it is continuous everywhere in R R. I know that a function is continuous on an …

  9. Smooth functions and functions with continuous derivative

    Jan 2, 2017 · By definition, a smooth function has a continuous first derivative and a continuous second, third, fourth, etc. all continuous. So a smooth function is also a function with a continuous derivative.

  10. Proof that the continuous image of a compact set is compact

    I know that the image of a continuous function is bounded, but I'm having trouble when it comes to prove this for vectorial functions. If somebody could help me with a step-to-step proof, that would be great.
