discontinuous
discontinuous
\dis`con*tin"u*ous\ (?), a.
1. not continuous; interrupted; broken off. a path that is zigzag, discontinuous, and intersected at every turn by human negligence.
2. exhibiting a dissolution of continuity; gaping. "discontinuous wound."
discontinuous
function (math.), a function which for certain values or between certain values of the variable does not vary continuously as the variable increases. the discontinuity may, for example, consist of an abrupt change in the value of the function, or an abrupt change in its law of variation, or the function may become imaginary.
discontinuous
adj
1. (mathematics) of a function or curve; possessing one or more discontinuities [ant: continuous]
2. not continuing without interruption in time or space; "discontinuous applause"; "the landscape was a discontinuous mosaic of fields and forest areas"; "he received a somewhat haphazard and discontinuous schooling" [syn: noncontinuous]

Classification of discontinuities
Continuous functions are of utmost importance in mathematics, functions and applications. However, not all functions are continuous. If a function is not continuous at a point in its domain, one says that it has a discontinuity there. The set of all points of discontinuity of a function may be a discrete set, a dense set, or even the entire domain of the function. This article describes the classification of discontinuities in the simplest case of functions of a single real variable taking real values.
