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. ... | Wikipedia - Local maxima - Summary |
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. | Wikipedia - Local maxima - Summary |
In mathematical analysis, the mean value theorem for divided differences generalizes the mean value theorem to higher derivatives. | Wikipedia - Mean value theorem for divided differences - Summary |
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... | Wikipedia - Rising sun lemma - Summary |
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... | Wikipedia - Differentiability class - Summary |
