The cut is a line or curve excluded from the domain to introduce a technical separation between discontinuous values of the function.

These are important in kinematics and PDEs (Partial Differential Equations) – infinites do not occur physically, but the behavior near the singularity is often of interest.

第69行： − An example would be the bouncing motion of an inelastic ball on a plane. If idealized motion is considered, in which the same fraction of kinetic energy is lost on each bounce, the frequency of bounces becomes infinite, as the ball comes to rest in a finite time. Other examples of finite-time singularities include the various forms of the Painlevé paradox (for example, the tendency of a chalk to skip when dragged across a blackboard), and how the precession rate of a coin spun on a flat surface accelerates towards infinite—before abruptly stopping (as studied using the Euler's Disk toy).+ − 一个例子是一个非弹性球在平面上的反弹运动。如果考虑理想运动，即每次弹跳都损失相同的动能，那么弹跳的频率就是无限的，因为球停在一个有限的时间里。有限时间奇点的其他例子包括 painlevé 悖论的各种形式(例如，当粉笔被拖过黑板时，粉笔倾向于跳过) ，以及在平面上旋转的硬币的进动速率如何加速到无限ー然后突然停止(使用欧拉圆盘玩具进行的研究)。+ 第65行：

In [[real analysis]], singularities are either [[classification of discontinuities|discontinuities]], or discontinuities of the [[derivative]] (sometimes also discontinuities of higher order derivatives). There are four kinds of discontinuities: '''type I''', which has two subtypes, and '''type II''', which can also be divided into two subtypes (though usually is not).

在实际分析中，奇点或不连续是函数本身的一个性质。任何可能存在于函数导数中的奇点都被认为是属于导数，而不是原函数。
A '''coordinate singularity''' occurs when an apparent singularity or discontinuity occurs in one coordinate frame, which can be removed by choosing a different frame. An example of this is the apparent singularity at the 90 degree latitude in [[spherical coordinates]]. An object moving due north (for example, along the line 0 degrees longitude) on the surface of a sphere will suddenly experience an instantaneous change in longitude at the pole (in the case of the example, jumping from longitude 0 to longitude 180 degrees). This discontinuity, however, is only apparent; it is an artifact of the coordinate system chosen, which is singular at the poles. A different coordinate system would eliminate the apparent discontinuity (e.g., by replacing the latitude/longitude representation with an [[n-vector|{{mvar|n}}-vector]] representation).

当在一个坐标系中出现明显的奇异或不连续时，就会出现坐标奇异性，这可以通过选择不同的坐标系来消除。这方面的一个例子是球坐标系中90度纬度处的明显奇点。在球体表面向北移动的物体(例如，沿着0度经线)在极点会突然经历经度的瞬时变化(例如，从0度经度跳到180度经度)。然而，这种不连续性只是显而易见的，它是所选择的坐标系的人工制品，在极点是奇异的。不同的坐标系将消除明显的不连续性(例如，将纬度/经度表示替换为-vector 表示)。

在复分析中，有几类奇异点。其中包括孤立奇点、非孤立奇点和分支点。
===Isolated singularities===
Suppose that ''U'' is an [[open set|open subset]] of the [[complex number]]s '''C''', with the point ''a'' being an element of ''U'', and that ''f'' is a [[holomorphic function|complex differentiable function]] defined on some [[Neighbourhood (mathematics)|neighborhood]] around ''a'', excluding ''a'': ''U'' \ {''a''}, then:
Suppose that U is an open subset of the complex numbers C, with the point a being an element of U, and that f is a complex differentiable function defined on some neighborhood around a, excluding a: U \ {a}, then:
假设 u 是复数 c 的一个开子集，点 a 是 u 的一个元素，而 f 是定义在 a 周围某个邻域上的复可微函数，除了 a: u { a } ，那么:
* The point ''a'' is a [[removable singularity]] of ''f'' if there exists a [[holomorphic function]] ''g'' defined on all of ''U'' such that ''f''(''z'') = ''g''(''z'') for all ''z'' in ''U'' \ {''a''}. The function ''g'' is a continuous replacement for the function ''f''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Singularity.html|title=Singularity|last=Weisstein|first=Eric W.|website=mathworld.wolfram.com|language=en|access-date=2019-12-12}}</ref>
* The point ''a'' is a [[pole (complex analysis)|pole]] or non-essential singularity of ''f'' if there exists a holomorphic function ''g'' defined on ''U'' with ''g''(''a'') nonzero, and a [[natural number]] ''n'' such that ''f''(''z'') = ''g''(''z'') / (''z'' − ''a'')<sup>''n''</sup> for all ''z'' in ''U'' \ {''a''}. The least such number ''n'' is called the ''order of the pole''. The derivative at a non-essential singularity itself has a non-essential singularity, with ''n'' increased by 1 (except if ''n'' is 0 so that the singularity is removable).
* The point ''a'' is an [[essential singularity]] of ''f'' if it is neither a removable singularity nor a pole. The point ''a'' is an essential singularity [[iff|if and only if]] the [[Laurent series]] has infinitely many powers of negative degree.<ref name=":1" />
===Nonisolated singularities===
Other than isolated singularities, complex functions of one variable may exhibit other singular behaviour. These are termed nonisolated singularities, of which there are two types:

除孤立奇点外，一个变量的复变函数还可能表现出其他奇异行为。这些称为非孤立奇点，其中有两种类型:
* '''Cluster points''': [[limit points]] of isolated singularities. If they are all poles, despite admitting [[Laurent series]] expansions on each of them, then no such expansion is possible at its limit.
* '''Natural boundaries''': any non-isolated set (e.g. a curve) on which functions cannot be [[analytic continuation|analytically continued]] around (or outside them if they are closed curves in the [[Riemann sphere]]).
===Branch points===
[[Branch point]]s are generally the result of a [[multi-valued function]], such as <math>\sqrt{z}</math> or <math>\log(z)</math>, which are defined within a certain limited domain so that the function can be made single-valued within the domain. The cut is a line or curve excluded from the domain to introduce a technical separation between discontinuous values of the function. When the cut is genuinely required, the function will have distinctly different values on each side of the branch cut. The shape of the branch cut is a matter of choice, even though it must connect two different branch points (such as <math>z=0</math> and <math>z=\infty</math> for <math>\log(z)</math>) which are fixed in place.

分支点通常是多值函数的结果，比如 < math > sqrt { z } </math > 或 < math > log (z) </math > ，这些分支点定义在一个特定的有限域内，因此函数可以在域内成为单值函数。切割是一条从区域中排除的直线或曲线，用以在不连续的函数值之间进行技术上的分离。当切割是真正需要的，功能将有明显不同的价值观在每一侧的分支削减。分支切口的形状是一个选择问题，即使它必须连接两个不同的分支点(比如 < math > z = 0 </math > 和 < math > z = infty </math > ，用于 < math > log (z) </math >) ，这两个分支点是固定的。

A '''finite-time singularity''' occurs when one input variable is time, and an output variable increases towards infinity at a finite time. These are important in [[kinematic]]s and PDEs ([[Partial differential equation|Partial Differential Equations]]) – infinites do not occur physically, but the behavior near the singularity is often of interest. Mathematically, the simplest finite-time singularities are [[power law]]s for various exponents of the form <math>x^{-\alpha},</math> of which the simplest is [[hyperbolic growth]], where the exponent is (negative) 1: <math>x^{-1}.</math> More precisely, in order to get a singularity at positive time as time advances (so the output grows to infinity), one instead uses <math>(t_0-t)^{-\alpha}</math> (using ''t'' for time, reversing direction to <math>-t</math> so that time increases to infinity, and shifting the singularity forward from 0 to a fixed time <math>t_0</math>).

当输入变量为时间，输出变量在有限时间内向无穷大方向增长时，出现有限时间奇异性。这些在运动学和偏微分方程(偏微分方程)中都很重要——物理上不存在无穷大，但奇点附近的行为通常是有趣的。数学上，最简单的有限时间奇点是形式为 < math > x ^ {-alpha }的各种指数的幂律，其中最简单的是双曲增长，其指数是(负)1: < math > x ^ {-1}。更准确地说，为了在正时间得到一个奇点，随着时间的推移(所以输出增加到无穷大) ，一个代替使用 < math > (t _ 0-t) ^ {-alpha } </math > (使用 t 表示时间，倒转方向到 < math >-t </math > ，所以时间增加到无穷大，并将奇点从0向前移动到一个固定的时间 < t _ 0 </math >)。
An example would be the bouncing motion of an inelastic ball on a plane. If idealized motion is considered, in which the same fraction of [[kinetic energy]] is lost on each bounce, the [[frequency]] of bounces becomes infinite, as the ball comes to rest in a finite time. Other examples of finite-time singularities include the various forms of the [[Painlevé paradox]] (for example, the tendency of a chalk to skip when dragged across a blackboard), and how the [[precession]] rate of a [[coin]] spun on a flat surface accelerates towards infinite—before abruptly stopping (as studied using the [[Euler's Disk]] toy).

一个例子是一个非弹性球在平面上的反弹运动。如果考虑理想运动，即每次弹跳都损失相同的动能，那么弹跳的频率就是无限的，因为球停在一个有限的时间里。有限时间奇点的其他例子包括各种形式的 painlevé 悖论(例如，粉笔在黑板上拖动时会跳过) ，以及在平面上旋转的硬币的进动速率如何加速到无限，然后突然停止(用欧拉圆盘玩具进行的研究)。

==Algebraic geometry and commutative algebra==
In [[algebraic geometry]], a [[singular point of an algebraic variety|singularity of an algebraic variety]] is a point of the variety where the [[tangent space]] may not be regularly defined. The simplest example of singularities are curves that cross themselves. But there are other types of singularities, like [[cusp (singularity)|cusps]]. For example, the equation {{math|1= ''y''{{sup|2}} − ''x''{{sup|3}} = 0 }} defines a curve that has a cusp at the origin {{math|1= ''x'' = ''y'' = 0 }}. One could define the {{math|''x''}}-axis as a tangent at this point, but this definition can not be the same as the definition at other points. In fact, in this case, the {{math|''x''}}-axis is a "double tangent."

在代数几何中，代数簇的奇点是各种各样的切线空间可能没有规则定义的一点。奇点最简单的例子就是它们自己交叉的曲线。但是还有其他类型的奇点，比如尖点。例如，方程 -x = 0}}定义了一条在原点有尖点的曲线。可以将-轴定义为这一点的切线，但这个定义不能与其他点的定义相同。实际上，在这种情况下,-轴是一个“双切线”
For [[affine variety|affine]] and [[projective variety|projective varieties]], the singularities are the points where the [[Jacobian matrix]] has a [[rank (linear algebra)|rank]] which is lower than at other points of the variety.
For affine and projective varieties, the singularities are the points where the Jacobian matrix has a rank which is lower than at other points of the variety.
对于仿射变种和射影变种，奇异点是指雅可比矩阵的秩低于其它变种点的秩的点。
An equivalent definition in terms of [[commutative algebra]] may be given, which extends to [[abstract variety|abstract varieties]] and [[scheme (mathematics)|schemes]]: A point is ''singular'' if the [[Localization of a ring|local ring at this point]] is not a [[regular local ring]].
An equivalent definition in terms of commutative algebra may be given, which extends to abstract varieties and schemes: A point is singular if the local ring at this point is not a regular local ring.
可以给出一个关于交换代数的等价定义，它扩展到抽象的簇和方案: 如果局部环在这一点上不是一个正则局部环，那么一个点就是奇异的。
