The continuity set of a function is the set of points where it is continuous. For a real function , define its oscillation at byThe sets are open, and is continuous at exactly when . Hence its continuity set is the Borel set
If is continuous at and is continuous at , then is continuous at .
The intermediate value theorem says that a real-valued continuous function cannot skip a value between two of its outputs. Let and let be a continuous function on the entire closed interval . ThenThe word "between" includes both endpoint values: choose when , or when . If is strictly between them, every such lies in the open interval . Continuity on means continuity at every interior point, together with the endpoint one-sided limits and . No derivative is required.[ref]

For finding a zero of a function, the useful special case isStrictly opposite endpoint signs certify a root bracket, because zero is strictly between and . If an endpoint value is already zero, that endpoint supplies a zero of a function directly; an interior zero of a function need not exist. For example, on has its only zero of a function at the left endpoint. The intermediate value theorem guarantees existence, but neither uniqueness nor a necessary sign-change test. Its numerical usefulness is that the bisection method can turn existence into successively tighter root brackets.

Every theory containing an inconsistent subtheory is inconsistent, because the same finite derivation of contradiction remains available.
Binary mass transfer is dynamically stable when the donor's radius decreases relative to its Roche-lobe radius after a small mass loss, reducing overflow instead of amplifying it.
Even if both input grammars are regular, the added production has two variables on its right-hand side and therefore need not be a regular production.
Retain every production of whose right-hand side contains a variable, replace every production with by , include , and use as start variable. If and are right-linear, the resulting grammar is right-linear and generates .
The blowup replaces a point of a complex -manifold by the projective space of complex tangent directions . A biholomorphism carrying one center to another lifts to a biholomorphism of their blowups.
It is the point-center case of blowup of an algebraic variety, also interpreted analytically.
The first Chern class classifies complex line bundles topologically. For a Hermitian holomorphic line bundle with Chern curvature , Chern-Weil theory gives .
