We're continuous at a point, and see how this more And then let's thinkĪbout a couple of examples where it doesn't seem like By our picking-up-the-pencil idea, it feels like we areĬontinuous at a point. Value of our function there, then we are continuous at that point. It's saying look, if the limit as we approach c from the left and the right of f of x, if that's actually the But let's just thinkĪbout what it's saying. To show if, and only if, the two-sided limit of f of x, as x approaches c, is equal to f of c. So we could say theįunction f is continuous. So the formal definition ofĬontinuity, let's start here, we'll start with continuity at a point. Well let's actually come up with a formal definition for continuity, and then see if it feels intuitive for us. And so that is an intuitive sense that we are not continuous How do I keep drawing this function without picking up my pen? I would have to pick it up, and then move back down here. Let's see, my pen is touching the screen, touching the screen, touching the screen. This function would be very hard to draw going through x equals c But if I had a function that looked somewhat different that that, if I had a function that looked like this, let's say that it isĭefined up until then, and then there's a bit of a jump, and then it goes like this, well this would be very hard to draw at. I can go through that point, so we could say that ourįunction is continuous there. So I could just start here, and I don't have to pick up my pencil, and there you go. If I can draw the graph at that point, the value of the function at that point without picking up my pencil, or my pen, then it's continuous there. ![]() What I just said is not that rigorous, or not rigorous at all, is that well, let's think about Graph of that function at that point without And the general idea of continuity, we've got an intuitive idea of the past, is that a function isĬontinuous at a point, is if you can draw the Thomson, "Real functions", Springer (1985) MR08187.Going to do in this video is come up with a more rigorousĭefinition for continuity.

In particular a Lebesgue point is always a point of approximate continuity Where $\lambda$ denotes the Lebesgue measure. Recall that a Lebesgue point $x_0$ of a function $f\in L^1 (E)$ is a point of Lebesgue density $1$ for $E$ at which Points of approximate continuity are related to Lebesgue points. The almost everywhere approximate continuity becomes then a characterization of measurability (Stepanov–Denjoy theorem, see Theorem 2.9.13 of ). with Approximate limit and see Section 2.9.12 of ). The definition of approximate continuity can be extended to nonmeasurable functions (cp. It follows from Lusin's theorem that a measurable function is approximately continuous at almost every point (see Theorem 3 of Section 1.7.2 of ). $f$ is approximately continuous at $x_0$ if and only if theĪpproximate limit of $f$ at $x_0$ exists and equals $f(x_0)$ (cp. Consider a (Lebesgue) measurable set $E\subset \mathbb R^n$, a measurable function $f: E\to \mathbb R^k$ and a point $x_0\in E$ where the Lebesgue density of $E$ is $1$. ![]() 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 26B05 Secondary: 28A20 49Q15 Ī generalization of the concept of continuity in which the ordinary limit is replaced by an approximate limit. ![]()
