Continuous functions are of utmost importance in mathematics , functions and applications. However, not all functions are continuous. If a function is not continuous at a limit point (Also called Accumulation Point or Cluster Point ) of its domain , one says that it has a discontinuity there. The set of all points of discontinuity of a function may be a discrete set , a dense set , or even the entire domain of the function.

588-639: Is not equal to L , {\displaystyle L,} then x 0 {\displaystyle x_{0}} is called a removable discontinuity . This discontinuity can be removed to make f {\displaystyle f} continuous at x 0 , {\displaystyle x_{0},} or more precisely, the function g ( x ) = { f ( x ) x ≠ x 0 L x = x 0 {\displaystyle g(x)={\begin{cases}f(x)&x\neq x_{0}\\L&x=x_{0}\end{cases}}}

In this theorem seems that all type of discontinuities have the same weight on the obstruction that a bounded function f {\displaystyle f} be Riemann integrable on [

686-784: Is a removable discontinuity . For this kind of discontinuity: The one-sided limit from the negative direction: L − = lim x → x 0 − f ( x ) {\displaystyle L^{-}=\lim _{x\to x_{0}^{-}}f(x)} and the one-sided limit from the positive direction: L + = lim x → x 0 + f ( x ) {\displaystyle L^{+}=\lim _{x\to x_{0}^{+}}f(x)} at x 0 {\displaystyle x_{0}} both exist, are finite, and are equal to L = L − = L + . {\displaystyle L=L^{-}=L^{+}.} In other words, since

Therefore 1 C {\displaystyle \mathbf {1} _{\mathcal {C}}} only assumes the value zero in some neighbourhood of x 0 . {\displaystyle x_{0}.} Hence 1 C {\displaystyle \mathbf {1} _{\mathcal {C}}}

833-510: Is a discontinuity of a derivative function f : I → R {\displaystyle f:I\to \mathbb {R} } , then necessarily x 0 {\displaystyle x_{0}} is a fundamental essential discontinuity of f {\displaystyle f} . Notice also that when I = [ a , b ] {\displaystyle I=[a,b]} and f : I → R {\displaystyle f:I\to \mathbb {R} }

This means in particular that the following two situations cannot occur: Furthermore, two other situations have to be excluded (see John Klippert ): Observe that whenever one of

980-409: Is always a countable set (see ). The term essential discontinuity has evidence of use in mathematical context as early as 1889. However, the earliest use of the term alongside a mathematical definition seems to have been given in the work by John Klippert. Therein, Klippert also classified essential discontinuities themselves by subdividing the set E {\displaystyle E} into

1029-494: Is an uncountable set with null Lebesgue measure , also D {\displaystyle D} is a null Lebesgue measure set and so in the regard of Lebesgue-Vitali theorem 1 C {\displaystyle \mathbf {1} _{\mathcal {C}}} is a Riemann integrable function.

1078-463: Is an essential discontinuity, infinite discontinuity, or discontinuity of the second kind.

Supposing that f {\displaystyle f} is a function defined on an interval I ⊆ R , {\displaystyle I\subseteq \mathbb {R} ,} we will denote by D {\displaystyle D}

1127-479: Is called an essential discontinuity of first kind . Any x 0 ∈ E 2 ∪ E 3 {\displaystyle x_{0}\in E_{2}\cup E_{3}} is said an essential discontinuity of second kind. Hence he enlarges the set R ∪ J {\displaystyle R\cup J} without losing its characteristic of being countable, by stating

1176-515: Is continuous at x 0 . {\displaystyle x_{0}.} This means that the set D {\displaystyle D} of all discontinuities of 1 C {\displaystyle \mathbf {1} _{\mathcal {C}}} on the interval [ 0 , 1 ] {\displaystyle [0,1]} is a subset of C . {\displaystyle {\mathcal {C}}.} Since C {\displaystyle {\mathcal {C}}}

1225-452: Is continuous at x = x 0 . {\displaystyle x=x_{0}.} The term removable discontinuity is sometimes broadened to include a removable singularity , in which the limits in both directions exist and are equal, while the function is undefined at the point x 0 . {\displaystyle x_{0}.} This use is an abuse of terminology because continuity and discontinuity of

1568-541: The following: When I = [ a , b ] {\displaystyle I=[a,b]} and f {\displaystyle f} is a bounded function, it is well-known of the importance of the set D {\displaystyle D} in the regard of the Riemann integrability of f . {\displaystyle f.} In fact, Lebesgue's Theorem (also named Lebesgue-Vitali) theorem) states that f {\displaystyle f}

1617-706: The function 1 C {\displaystyle \mathbf {1} _{\mathcal {C}}} this means that both lim x → x 0 − 1 C ( x ) {\textstyle \lim _{x\to x_{0}^{-}}\mathbf {1} _{\mathcal {C}}(x)} and lim x → x 0 + 1 C ( x ) {\textstyle \lim _{x\to x_{0}^{+}}1_{\mathcal {C}}(x)} do not exist. That is, D = E 1 , {\displaystyle D=E_{1},} where by E 1 , {\displaystyle E_{1},} as before, we denote

1666-680: The function f {\displaystyle f} , is said to be a fundamental essential discontinuity of f {\displaystyle f} if lim x → x 0 − f ( x ) ≠ ± ∞ {\displaystyle \lim _{x\to x_{0}^{-}}f(x)\neq \pm \infty } and lim x → x 0 + f ( x ) ≠ ± ∞ . {\displaystyle \lim _{x\to x_{0}^{+}}f(x)\neq \pm \infty .} Therefore if x 0 ∈ I {\displaystyle x_{0}\in I}

1715-408: The intermediate value property does not imply f {\displaystyle f} is continuous on I . {\displaystyle I.} Darboux's Theorem does, however, have an immediate consequence on the type of discontinuities that f {\displaystyle f} can have. In fact, if x 0 ∈ I {\displaystyle x_{0}\in I}

1764-492: The intermediate value property. The function f {\displaystyle f} can, of course, be continuous on the interval I , {\displaystyle I,} in which case Bolzano's Theorem also applies. Recall that Bolzano's Theorem asserts that every continuous function satisfies the intermediate value property. On the other hand, the converse is false: Darboux's Theorem does not assume f {\displaystyle f} to be continuous and

1813-466: The limit L {\displaystyle L} does not exist. Then, x 0 {\displaystyle x_{0}} is called a jump discontinuity , step discontinuity , or discontinuity of the first kind .

1911-490: The point x 0 = 1 {\displaystyle x_{0}=1} is a jump discontinuity . In this case, a single limit does not exist because the one-sided limits, L − {\displaystyle L^{-}} and L + {\displaystyle L^{+}} exist and are finite, but are not equal: since, L − ≠ L + , {\displaystyle L^{-}\neq L^{+},}

1960-479: The point x 0 = 1 {\displaystyle x_{0}=1} is an essential discontinuity . In this example, both L − {\displaystyle L^{-}} and L + {\displaystyle L^{+}} do not exist in R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } , thus satisfying the condition of essential discontinuity. So x 0 {\displaystyle x_{0}}

2107-547: The set D {\displaystyle D} are relevant in the literature. Tom Apostol follows partially the classification above by considering only removable and jump discontinuities. His objective is to study the discontinuities of monotone functions, mainly to prove Froda’s theorem. With the same purpose, Walter Rudin and Karl R.
