<p>The definition Google finds for <em>continuous</em> is <em>forming an unbroken whole; without interruption</em>.</p>
<p>The concept in calculus, as transferred to functions, is similar. Roughly speaking, a continuous function is one whose graph could be drawn without having to lift (or interrupt) the pencil drawing it.</p>
<p>Consider these two graphs:</p>
<div class="cell" data-hold="true" data-execution_count="4">
<div class="cell-output cell-output-display" data-execution_count="5">
<p><img src="continuity_files/figure-html/cell-5-output-1.svg" class="img-fluid"></p>
</div>
</div>
<p>and</p>
<div class="cell" data-hold="true" data-execution_count="5">
<div class="cell-output cell-output-display" data-execution_count="6">
<p><img src="continuity_files/figure-html/cell-6-output-1.svg" class="img-fluid"></p>
</div>
</div>
<p>Though similar at some level - they agree at nearly every value of <span class="math inline">\(x\)</span> - the first has a “jump” from <span class="math inline">\(-1\)</span> to <span class="math inline">\(1\)</span> instead of the transition in the second one. The first is not continuous at <span class="math inline">\(0\)</span> - a break is needed to draw it - where as the second is continuous.</p>
<p>A formal definition of continuity was a bit harder to come about. At <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_value_theorem">first</a> the concept was that for any <span class="math inline">\(y\)</span> between any two values in the range for <span class="math inline">\(f(x)\)</span>, the function should take on the value <span class="math inline">\(y\)</span> for some <span class="math inline">\(x\)</span>. Clearly this could distinguish the two graphs above, as one takes no values in <span class="math inline">\((-1,1)\)</span>, whereas the other - the continuous one - takes on all values in that range.</p>
<p>However, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cours_d%27Analyse">Cauchy</a> defined continuity by <span class="math inline">\(f(x + \alpha) - f(x)\)</span> being small whenever <span class="math inline">\(\alpha\)</span> was small. This basically rules out “jumps” and proves more useful as a tool to describe continuity.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_function#History">modern</a> definition simply pushes the details to the definition of the limit:</p>
<blockquote class="blockquote">
<p>A function <span class="math inline">\(f(x)\)</span> is continuous at <span class="math inline">\(x=c\)</span> if <span class="math inline">\(\lim_{x \rightarrow c}f(x) = f(c)\)</span>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This says three things</p>
<ul>
<li>The limit exists at <span class="math inline">\(c\)</span>.</li>
<li>The function is defined at <span class="math inline">\(c\)</span> (<span class="math inline">\(c\)</span> is in the domain).</li>
<li>The value of the limit is the same as <span class="math inline">\(f(c)\)</span>.</li>
</ul>
<p>This speaks to continuity at a point, we can extend this to continuity over an interval <span class="math inline">\((a,b)\)</span> by saying:</p>
<blockquote class="blockquote">
<p>A function <span class="math inline">\(f(x)\)</span> is continuous over <span class="math inline">\((a,b)\)</span> if at each point <span class="math inline">\(c\)</span> with <span class="math inline">\(a &lt; c &lt; b\)</span>, <span class="math inline">\(f(x)\)</span> is continuous at <span class="math inline">\(c\)</span>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Finally, as with limits, it can be convenient to speak of <em>right</em> continuity and <em>left</em> continuity at a point, where the limit in the defintion is replaced by a right or left limit, as appropriate.</p>

<p>Most familiar functions are continuous everywhere.</p>
<ul>
<li>For example, a monomial function <span class="math inline">\(f(x) = ax^n\)</span> for non-negative, integer <span class="math inline">\(n\)</span> will be continuous. This is because the limit exists everywhere, the domain of <span class="math inline">\(f\)</span> is all <span class="math inline">\(x\)</span> and there are no jumps.</li>
<li>Similarly, the basic trigonometric functions <span class="math inline">\(\sin(x)\)</span>, <span class="math inline">\(\cos(x)\)</span> are continuous everywhere.</li>
<li>So are the exponential functions <span class="math inline">\(f(x) = a^x, a &gt; 0\)</span>.</li>
<li>The hyperbolic sine (<span class="math inline">\((e^x - e^{-x})/2\)</span>) and cosine (<span class="math inline">\((e^x + e^{-x})/2\)</span>) are, as <span class="math inline">\(e^x\)</span> is.</li>
<li>The hyperbolic tangent is, as <span class="math inline">\(\cosh(x) &gt; 0\)</span> for all <span class="math inline">\(x\)</span>.</li>
</ul>
<p>Some familiar functions are <em>mostly</em> continuous but not everywhere.</p>
<ul>
<li>For example, <span class="math inline">\(f(x) = \sqrt{x}\)</span> is continuous on <span class="math inline">\((0,\infty)\)</span> and right continuous at <span class="math inline">\(0\)</span>, but it is not defined for negative <span class="math inline">\(x\)</span>, so can’t possibly be continuous there.</li>
<li>Similarly, <span class="math inline">\(f(x) = \log(x)\)</span> is continuous on <span class="math inline">\((0,\infty)\)</span>, but it is not defined at <span class="math inline">\(x=0\)</span>, so is not right continuous at <span class="math inline">\(0\)</span>.</li>
<li>The tangent function <span class="math inline">\(\tan(x) = \sin(x)/\cos(x)\)</span> is continuous everywhere <em>except</em> the points <span class="math inline">\(x\)</span> with <span class="math inline">\(\cos(x) = 0\)</span> (<span class="math inline">\(\pi/2 + k\pi, k\)</span> an integer).</li>
<li>The hyperbolic co-tangent is not continuous at <span class="math inline">\(x=0\)</span> – when <span class="math inline">\(\sinh\)</span> is <span class="math inline">\(0\)</span>,</li>
<li>The semicircle <span class="math inline">\(f(x) = \sqrt{1 - x^2}\)</span> is <em>continuous</em> on <span class="math inline">\((-1, 1)\)</span>. It is not continuous at <span class="math inline">\(-1\)</span> and <span class="math inline">\(1\)</span>, though it is right continuous at <span class="math inline">\(-1\)</span> and left continuous at <span class="math inline">\(1\)</span>.</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section id="examples-of-discontinuity" class="level5">
<h5 class="anchored" data-anchor-id="examples-of-discontinuity">Examples of discontinuity</h5>
<p>There are various reasons why a function may not be continuous.</p>
<ul>
<li>The function <span class="math inline">\(f(x) = \sin(x)/x\)</span> has a limit at <span class="math inline">\(0\)</span> but is not defined at <span class="math inline">\(0\)</span>, so is not continuous at <span class="math inline">\(0\)</span>. The function can be redefined to make it continuous.</li>
<li>The function <span class="math inline">\(f(x) = 1/x\)</span> is continuous everywhere <em>except</em> <span class="math inline">\(x=0\)</span> where <em>no</em> limit exists.</li>
<li>A rational function <span class="math inline">\(f(x) = p(x)/q(x)\)</span> will be continuous everywhere except where <span class="math inline">\(q(x)=0\)</span>. (The function <span class="math inline">\(f\)</span> may still have a limit where <span class="math inline">\(q\)</span> is <span class="math inline">\(0\)</span>, should factors cancel, but <span class="math inline">\(f\)</span> won’t be defined at such values.)</li>
<li>The function</li>
</ul>
<p><span class="math display">\[
f(x) = \begin{cases}
-1 &amp; x &lt; 0 \\
0 &amp; x = 0 \\
1 &amp; x &gt; 0
\end{cases}
\]</span></p>
<p>is implemented by <code>Julia</code>’s <code>sign</code> function. It has a value at <span class="math inline">\(0\)</span>, but no limit at <span class="math inline">\(0\)</span>, so is not continuous at <span class="math inline">\(0\)</span>. Furthermore, the left and right limits exist at <span class="math inline">\(0\)</span> but are not equal to <span class="math inline">\(f(0)\)</span> so the function is not left or right continuous at <span class="math inline">\(0\)</span>. It is continuous everywhere except at <span class="math inline">\(x=0\)</span>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Similarly, the function defined by this graph</li>
</ul>
<div class="cell" data-hold="true" data-execution_count="6">
<div class="cell-output cell-output-display" data-execution_count="7">
<p><img src="continuity_files/figure-html/cell-7-output-1.svg" class="img-fluid"></p>
</div>
</div>
<p>is not continuous at <span class="math inline">\(x=0\)</span>. It has a limit of <span class="math inline">\(0\)</span> at <span class="math inline">\(0\)</span>, a function value <span class="math inline">\(f(0) =1/2\)</span>, but the limit and the function value are not equal.</p>
<ul>
<li>The <code>floor</code> function, which rounds down to the nearest integer, is also not continuous at the integers, but is right continuous at the integers, as, for example, <span class="math inline">\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0+} f(x) = f(0)\)</span>. This graph emphasizes the right continuity by placing a point for the value of the function when there is a jump:</li>
</ul>
<div class="cell" data-hold="true" data-execution_count="7">
<div class="cell-output cell-output-display" data-execution_count="8">
<p><img src="continuity_files/figure-html/cell-8-output-1.svg" class="img-fluid"></p>
</div>
</div>
<ul>
<li>The function <span class="math inline">\(f(x) = 1/x^2\)</span> is not continuous at <span class="math inline">\(x=0\)</span>: <span class="math inline">\(f(x)\)</span> is not defined at <span class="math inline">\(x=0\)</span> and <span class="math inline">\(f(x)\)</span> has no limit at <span class="math inline">\(x=0\)</span> (in the usual sense).</li>
<li>On the Wikipedia page for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_function">continuity</a> the example of Dirichlet’s function is given:</li>
</ul>
<p><span class="math display">\[
f(x) =
\begin{cases}
0 &amp; \text{if } x \text{ is irrational,}\\
1 &amp; \text{if } x \text{ is rational.}
\end{cases}
\]</span></p>
<p>The limit for any <span class="math inline">\(c\)</span> is discontinuous, as any interval about <span class="math inline">\(c\)</span> will contain <em>both</em> rational and irrational numbers so the function will not take values in a small neighborhood around any potential <span class="math inline">\(L\)</span>.</p>
</section>
<section id="example" class="level5">
<h5 class="anchored" data-anchor-id="example">Example</h5>
<p>Let a function be defined by cases:</p>
<p><span class="math display">\[
f(x) = \begin{cases}
3x^2 + c &amp; x \geq 0,\\
2x-3 &amp; x &lt; 0.
\end{cases}
\]</span></p>
<p>What value of <span class="math inline">\(c\)</span> will make <span class="math inline">\(f(x)\)</span> a continuous function?</p>
<p>We note that for <span class="math inline">\(x &lt; 0\)</span> and for <span class="math inline">\(x &gt; 0\)</span> the function is a simple polynomial, so is continuous. At <span class="math inline">\(x=0\)</span> to be continuous we need a limit to exists and be equal to <span class="math inline">\(f(0)\)</span>, which is <span class="math inline">\(c\)</span>. A limit exists if the left and right limits are equal. This means we need to solve for <span class="math inline">\(c\)</span> to make the left and right limits equal. We do this next with a bit of overkill in this case:</p>

<h2 data-number="20.1" class="anchored" data-anchor-id="rules-for-continuity"><span class="header-section-number">20.1</span> Rules for continuity</h2>
<p>As we’ve seen, functions can be combined in several ways. How do these relate with continuity?</p>
<p>Suppose <span class="math inline">\(f(x)\)</span> and <span class="math inline">\(g(x)\)</span> are both continuous on <span class="math inline">\(I\)</span>. Then</p>
<ul>
<li>The function <span class="math inline">\(h(x) = a f(x) + b g(x)\)</span> is continuous on <span class="math inline">\(I\)</span> for any real numbers <span class="math inline">\(a\)</span> and <span class="math inline">\(b\)</span>;</li>
<li>The function <span class="math inline">\(h(x) = f(x) \cdot g(x)\)</span> is continuous on <span class="math inline">\(I\)</span>; and</li>
<li>The function <span class="math inline">\(h(x) = f(x) / g(x)\)</span> is continuous at all points <span class="math inline">\(c\)</span> in <span class="math inline">\(I\)</span> <strong>where</strong> <span class="math inline">\(g(c) \neq 0\)</span>.</li>
<li>The function <span class="math inline">\(h(x) = f(g(x))\)</span> is continuous at <span class="math inline">\(x=c\)</span> <em>if</em> <span class="math inline">\(g(x)\)</span> is continuous at <span class="math inline">\(c\)</span> <em>and</em> <span class="math inline">\(f(x)\)</span> is continuous at <span class="math inline">\(g(c)\)</span>.</li>
</ul>
<p>So, continuity is preserved for all of the basic operations except when dividing by <span class="math inline">\(0\)</span>.</p>
<section id="examples" class="level5">
<h5 class="anchored" data-anchor-id="examples">Examples</h5>
<ul>
<li>Since a monomial <span class="math inline">\(f(x) = ax^n\)</span> (<span class="math inline">\(n\)</span> a non-negative integer) is continuous, by the first rule, any polynomial will be continuous.</li>
<li>Since both <span class="math inline">\(f(x) = e^x\)</span> and <span class="math inline">\(g(x)=\sin(x)\)</span> are continuous everywhere, so will be <span class="math inline">\(h(x) = e^x \cdot \sin(x)\)</span>.</li>
<li>Since <span class="math inline">\(f(x) = e^x\)</span> is continuous everywhere and <span class="math inline">\(g(x) = -x\)</span> is continuous everywhere, the composition <span class="math inline">\(h(x) = e^{-x}\)</span> will be continuous everywhere.</li>
<li>Since <span class="math inline">\(f(x) = x\)</span> is continuous everywhere, the function <span class="math inline">\(h(x) = 1/x\)</span> - a ratio of continuous functions - will be continuous everywhere <em>except</em> possibly at <span class="math inline">\(x=0\)</span> (where it is not continuous).</li>
<li>The function <span class="math inline">\(h(x) = e^{x\log(x)}\)</span> will be continuous on <span class="math inline">\((0,\infty)\)</span>, the same domain that <span class="math inline">\(g(x) = x\log(x)\)</span> is continuous. This function (also written as <span class="math inline">\(x^x\)</span>) has a right limit at <span class="math inline">\(0\)</span> (of <span class="math inline">\(1\)</span>), but is not right continuous, as <span class="math inline">\(h(0)\)</span> is not defined.</li>
</ul>
