List of continuity-related mathematical topics
In mathematics, the terms
continuity
,
continuous
, and
continuum
are used in a variety of related ways.
Continuity of functions and measures
Continuous function
.
Absolutely continuous function
.
Absolute continuity of a measure with respect to another measure
.
Continuous probability distribution
. Sometimes this term is used to mean a
probability distribution
whose
cumulative distribution function
is continuous. Sometimes it has a less inclusive meaning: a distribution whose c.d.f. is
absolutely continuous
with respect to
Lebesgue measure
. This less inclusive sense is equivalent to the condition that every set whose Lebesgue measure is 0 has probability 0.
Continuum
Continuum, the
real line
or the corresponding
cardinal number
.
Linear continuum
, any
ordered set
that shares certain properties of the real line.
Continuum, a nonempty compact connected
metric space
.
Continuum hypothesis
, a conjecture of
Georg Cantor
that there is no cardinal number between that of
countably infinite
sets and the cardinality of the set of all
real numbers
. The latter cardinality is
equal to
the cardinality of the set of all subsets of a
countably infinite set
.
Cardinality of the continuum
, a cardinal number that represents the
size
of the
set of real numbers
.
