Functions and mappings

  • Weierstrass function
    In mathematics, the Weierstrass function is an example of a pathological real-valued function on the real line.
  • Dirac delta function
    In mathematics, the Dirac delta function, or δ function, is a generalized function, or distribution, on the real number line that is zero everywhere except at zero, with an integral of one over the entire real line.
  • Function (mathematics)
    In mathematics, a function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs with the property that each input is related to exactly one output.
  • Homeomorphism
    In the mathematical field of topology, a homeomorphism or topological isomorphism or bi continuous function is a continuous function between topological spaces that has a continuous inverse function.
  • Integral
    In mathematics, an integral assigns numbers to functions in a way that can describe displacement, area, volume, and other concepts that arise by combining infinitesimal data.
  • Primitive recursive function
    In computability theory, primitive recursive functions are a class of functions that are defined using primitive recursion and composition as central operations and are a strict subset of the total µ-recursive functions (µ-recursive functions are also called partial recursive).
  • Tensor field
    In mathematics, physics, and engineering, a tensor field assigns a tensor to each point of a mathematical space (typically a Euclidean space or manifold).
  • Window function
    In signal processing, a window function (also known as an apodization function or tapering function) is a mathematical function that is zero-valued outside of some chosen interval.
  • Identity function
    In mathematics, an identity function, also called an identity relation or identity map or identity transformation, is a function that always returns the same value that was used as its argument.
  • Linear map
    In mathematics, a linear map (also called a linear mapping, linear transformation or, in some contexts, linear function) is a mapping V → W between two modules (including vector spaces) that preserves (in the sense defined below) the operations of addition and scalar multiplication.
  • Möbius transformation
    In geometry and complex analysis, a Möbius transformation of the complex plane is a rational function of the form of one complex variable z; here the coefficients a, b, c, d are complex numbers satisfying ad − bc ≠ 0.
  • Exponential growth
    Exponential growth is a phenomenon that occurs when the growth rate of the value of a mathematical function is proportional to the function's current value, resulting in its growth with time being an exponential function.
  • Recursion (computer science)
    Recursion in computer science is a method where the solution to a problem depends on solutions to smaller instances of the same problem (as opposed to iteration).
  • Curve sketching
    In geometry, curve sketching (or curve tracing) includes techniques that can be used to produce a rough idea of overall shape of a plane curve given its equation without computing the large numbers of points required for a detailed plot.
  • Empty function
    In mathematics, an empty function is a function whose domain is the empty set ∅.
  • Minkowski's question mark function
    In mathematics, the Minkowski question mark function (or the slippery devil's staircase), denoted by ?(x), is a function possessing various unusual fractal properties, defined by Hermann Minkowski (, pages 171–172).
  • Splitting lemma (functions)
    In mathematics, especially in singularity theory the splitting lemma is a useful result due to René Thom which provides a way of simplifying the local expression of a function usually applied in a neighbourhood of a degenerate critical point.
  • 3D projection
    3D projection is any method of mapping three-dimensional points to a two-dimensional plane.
  • Pfaffian function
    In mathematics, Pfaffian functions are a certain class of functions introduced by Askold Georgevich Khovanskiǐ in the 1970s.
  • Constant function
    In mathematics, a constant function is a function whose (output) value is the same for every input value.
  • Partial function
    In mathematics, a partial function from X to Y (written as f: X ↛ Y) is a function f: X ′ → Y, for some subset X ′ of X.
  • Two-dimensional graph
    A two-dimensional graph is a set of points in two-dimensional space.
  • Morphism of algebraic varieties
    In algebraic geometry, a morphism between algebraic varieties is a function between the varieties that is given locally by polynomials.
  • Unimodality
    In mathematics, unimodality means possessing a unique mode.
