What is a continuous extension? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
The continuous extension of f(x) f (x) at x = c x = c makes the function continuous at that point. Can you elaborate some more? I wasn't able to find very much on "continuous extension" throughout the web. …
probability theory - Why does a C.D.F need to be right-continuous ...
May 10, 2019 · This function is always right-continuous. That is, for each x ∈ Rk x ∈ R k we have lima↓xFX(a) =FX(x) lim a ↓ x F X (a) = F X (x). My question is: Why is this property important? Is …

real analysis - Prove that every convex function is continuous ...
The authors prove the proposition that every proper convex function defined on a finite-dimensional separated topological linear space is continuous on the interior of its effective domain. You can likely …
is bounded linear operator necessarily continuous?
In general, is a bounded linear operator necessarily continuous (I guess the answer is no, but what would be a counter example?) Are things in Banach spaces always continuous?
