In mathematics, a singularity is in general a point at which a given mathematical object is not defined, or a point where the mathematical object ceases to be well-behaved in some particular way, such as the lack of differentiability or analyticity.

In mathematics, a singularity is in general a point at which a given mathematical object is not defined, or a point where the mathematical object ceases to be well-behaved in some particular way, such as the lack of differentiability or analyticity.

在数学中，奇点 singularity一般是一个给定数学对象没有定义的点，或一个数学对象在某些特定方面不再表现良好的点，例如缺乏可微性或可分析性。

For example, the real function

For example, the real function

例如，实值函数

[math]\displaystyle{ f(x)=\frac{1}{x} }[/math]

[math]\displaystyle{  f(x)=\frac{1}{x}  }[/math]

= frac {1}{ x } </math >

has a singularity at [math]\displaystyle{ x = 0 }[/math], where it seems to "explode" to [math]\displaystyle{ \pm\infty }[/math] and is hence not defined. The absolute value function [math]\displaystyle{ g(x) = |x| }[/math] also has a singularity at x = 0, since it is not differentiable there.

在x=0处有一个奇点，在这里它似乎“爆炸”到±∞，因此没有定义。绝对值函数g（x）=| x |在x=0处也有奇点，因为它在那里不可微。

The algebraic curve defined by [math]\displaystyle{ \{(x,y):y^3-x^2=0\} }[/math] in the [math]\displaystyle{ (x, y) }[/math] coordinate system has a singularity (called a cusp) at [math]\displaystyle{ (0, 0) }[/math].

Real analysis实际分析

In real analysis, singularities are either 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，奇点要么是不连续的，要么是导数的不连续（有时也是高阶导数的不连续）。有四种不连续：类型一，有两种子类型；类型二，也可分为两种子类型（尽管通常不是）。

To describe the way these two types of limits are being used, suppose that [math]\displaystyle{ f(x) }[/math] is a function of a real argument [math]\displaystyle{ x }[/math], and for any value of its argument, say [math]\displaystyle{ c }[/math], then the left-handed limit, [math]\displaystyle{ f(c^-) }[/math], and the right-handed limit, [math]\displaystyle{ f(c^+) }[/math], are defined by:

为了描述这两种极限的使用方式，假设[math]\displaystyle{ f(x) }[/math]是实参数x的函数，对于其自变量的任意值，比如c，则左极限f（c-）和右极限f（c+）的定义如下：

[math]\displaystyle{ f(c^-) = \lim_{x \to c}f(x) }[/math], constrained by [math]\displaystyle{ x \lt c }[/math] and

[math]\displaystyle{ f(c^-) = \lim_{x \to c}f(x) }[/math], constrained by [math]\displaystyle{ x \lt c }[/math] and

[ math > f (c ^ -) = lim _ { x to c } f (x) </math > ，受到 < math > x </math > 和 </math > 的约束

[math]\displaystyle{ f(c^+) = \lim_{x \to c}f(x) }[/math], constrained by [math]\displaystyle{ x \gt c }[/math].

[math]\displaystyle{ f(c^+) = \lim_{x \to c}f(x) }[/math], constrained by [math]\displaystyle{ x \gt c }[/math].

[ math > f (c ^ +) = lim _ { x to c } f (x) </math > ，受 < math > x > c </math > 约束。

The value [math]\displaystyle{ f(c^-) }[/math] is the value that the function [math]\displaystyle{ f(x) }[/math] tends towards as the value [math]\displaystyle{ x }[/math] approaches [math]\displaystyle{ c }[/math] from below, and the value [math]\displaystyle{ f(c^+) }[/math] is the value that the function [math]\displaystyle{ f(x) }[/math] tends towards as the value [math]\displaystyle{ x }[/math] approaches [math]\displaystyle{ c }[/math] from above, regardless of the actual value the function has at the point where [math]\displaystyle{ x = c }[/math] .

The value [math]\displaystyle{ f(c^-) }[/math] is the value that the function [math]\displaystyle{ f(x) }[/math] tends towards as the value [math]\displaystyle{ x }[/math] approaches [math]\displaystyle{ c }[/math] from below, and the value [math]\displaystyle{ f(c^+) }[/math] is the value that the function [math]\displaystyle{ f(x) }[/math] tends towards as the value [math]\displaystyle{ x }[/math] approaches [math]\displaystyle{ c }[/math] from above, regardless of the actual value the function has at the point where [math]\displaystyle{ x = c }[/math] .

值f（c-）是函数f（x）在值x从下接近c时趋向的值，而值f（c+）是函数f（x）在值x从上接近c时趋向的值，而不管函数在x=c点处的实际值如何

There are some functions for which these limits do not exist at all. For example, the function

There are some functions for which these limits do not exist at all. For example, the function

有些函数根本不存在这些限制。例如，函数

[math]\displaystyle{ g(x) = \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) }[/math]

[math]\displaystyle{ g(x) = \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) }[/math]

< math > g (x) = sin left (frac {1}{ x } right) </math >

does not tend towards anything as [math]\displaystyle{ x }[/math] approaches [math]\displaystyle{ c = 0 }[/math]. The limits in this case are not infinite, but rather undefined: there is no value that [math]\displaystyle{ g(x) }[/math] settles in on. Borrowing from complex analysis, this is sometimes called an essential singularity.

在x趋于[math]\displaystyle{ c = 0 }[/math]时不趋向任何值。在这种情况下，极限不是无限的，而是没有定义的:g(x)m没有确定的值。借用复分析，这有时被称为本质奇点（本性奇点） essential singularity。

The possible cases at a given value [math]\displaystyle{ c }[/math] for the argument are as follows.

The possible cases at a given value [math]\displaystyle{ c }[/math] for the argument are as follows.

参数为给定值[math]\displaystyle{ c }[/math]时的可能情况如下。

• A point of continuity is a value of [math]\displaystyle{ c }[/math] for which [math]\displaystyle{ f(c^-) = f(c) = f(c^+) }[/math], as one expects for a smooth function. All the values must be finite. If [math]\displaystyle{ c }[/math] is not a point of continuity, then a discontinuity occurs at [math]\displaystyle{ c }[/math].

连续性点是[math]\displaystyle{ c }[/math]的一个值，在这点f(c^-)= f（c−）= f(c^+),就像人们期望的光滑函数一样。所有的值必须是有限的。如果[math]\displaystyle{ c }[/math]不是连续点，则在[math]\displaystyle{ c }[/math]处发生不连续。

• A type I discontinuity occurs when both [math]\displaystyle{ f(c^-) }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ f(c^+) }[/math] exist and are finite, but at least one of the following three conditions also applies:

当f（c−）和f（c+）同时存在且为有限时，即出现第一类不连续，但是也至少适用以下三个条件中的一个：

• • [math]\displaystyle{ f(c^-) \neq f(c^+) }[/math];

• • [math]\displaystyle{ f(x) }[/math] is not defined for the case of [math]\displaystyle{ x = c }[/math]; or
  • [math]\displaystyle{ f(c) }[/math] has a defined value, which, however, does not match the value of the two limits.

f（c−）≠f（c+） 当x=c时，f（c−）没有定义；或

f（c−）有一个定义值，但它与两个极限的值不匹配。

Type I discontinuities can be further distinguished as being one of the following subtypes:

Type I discontinuities can be further distinguished as being one of the following subtypes:

第一类不连续性可以进一步区分为下列子类型之一:

• A jump discontinuity occurs when [math]\displaystyle{ f(c^-) \neq f(c^+) }[/math], regardless of whether [math]\displaystyle{ f(c) }[/math] is defined, and regardless of its value if it is defined.

• A jump discontinuity occurs when [math]\displaystyle{ f(c^-) \neq f(c^+) }[/math], regardless of whether [math]\displaystyle{ f(c) }[/math] is defined, and regardless of its value if it is defined.

• 当f（c−）≠f（c+）时，无论是否定义了f（c），也不管是否定义了f（c）的值，都会出现跳跃不连续。

• A removable discontinuity occurs when [math]\displaystyle{ f(c^-) = f(c^+) }[/math], also regardless of whether [math]\displaystyle{ f(c) }[/math] is defined, and regardless of its value if it is defined (but which does not match that of the two limits).

• A removable discontinuity occurs when [math]\displaystyle{ f(c^-) = f(c^+) }[/math], also regardless of whether [math]\displaystyle{ f(c) }[/math] is defined, and regardless of its value if it is defined (but which does not match that of the two limits).

• 当f（c−）≠f（c+）时，无论是否定义了f（c），也不管是否已定义它的值(但不匹配两个极限)时，都会出现可移动的不连续性。

• A type II discontinuity occurs when either [math]\displaystyle{ f(c^-) }[/math] or [math]\displaystyle{ f(c^+) }[/math] does not exist (possibly both). This has two subtypes, which are usually not considered separately:

当f（c−）或f（c+不存在时（可能两者都不存在），就会出现“II”型不连续性。这有两个子类型，通常不单独考虑：

• • An infinite discontinuity is the special case when either the left hand or right hand limit does not exist, specifically because it is infinite, and the other limit is either also infinite, or is some well defined finite number. In other words, the function has an infinite discontinuity when its graph has a vertical asymptote.

无限不连续是当左极限或右极限不存在时的特例，特别是因为它是无限的，而另一个极限要么是无限的，要么是某种定义良好的有限数。换句话说，当函数的图形有一个垂直渐近线时，函数具有无限的不连续性。

• • An essential singularity is a term borrowed from complex analysis (see below). This is the case when either one or the other limits [math]\displaystyle{ f(c^-) }[/math] or [math]\displaystyle{ f(c^+) }[/math] does not exist, but not because it is an infinite discontinuity. Essential singularities approach no limit, not even if valid answers are extended to include [math]\displaystyle{ \pm\infty }[/math].

“ 本质奇点（本性奇点）”是从复分析中借用的一个术语（见下文）。当极限f（c−）或f（c+）两者中的任意一者不存在时，情况就会如此，但不是因为它是一个“无限不连续性”。”本质奇点（本性奇点）“接近无限制，即使有效解扩展到包括[math]\displaystyle{ \pm\infty }[/math]。

In real analysis, a singularity or discontinuity is a property of a function alone. Any singularities that may exist in the derivative of a function are considered as belonging to the derivative, not to the original function.

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。

Coordinate singularities

坐标奇点

Main article: Coordinate singularity

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 representation).

当在一个坐标系中出现明显的奇异性或不连续性时，就会出现坐标奇点，可以通过选择不同的坐标系来消除。这方面的一个例子是在球面坐标系中90度纬度处的明显奇异性。在球体表面正北方移动的物体（例如，沿经度为0度的直线）将突然在极点处经历经度的瞬时变化（在本例中，从经度0跳到经度180度）。然而，这种不连续性只是显而易见的；它是所选坐标系的一个伪影，在极点处是奇异的。不同的坐标系将消除明显的不连续性（例如，用矢量表示代替经纬度表示法）。

在复分析中，有几类奇点。其中包括孤立奇点、非孤立奇点和分支点。

Isolated singularities孤立奇点

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:

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.

如果存在一个定义在所有U上的全纯函数g，使得对于U \ {a}中的所有z, f(z) = g(z)，那么点a是f的一个可去奇点。函数g是函数f的连续替换。

• The point a is a 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)ⁿ 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).

如果存在定义在“U”上的全纯函数“g”，且“g”（“a”）非零，且存在一个自然数“n”，使得对所有“z”属于“U”\{“a”},“f”（“z”）=“g”（“z”）/ (“z” – “a”)n，则点“a”为极或“f”的非本质奇点 non-essential singularity。最小的这个数“n”称为“极序”。 非本质奇点处的导数本身也有一个非本质奇点，当“n”增加1时（除非“n”为0，因此奇点可移除）。

• 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 if and only if the Laurent series has infinitely many powers of negative degree.

如果点“a”既不是可去奇点，也不是极点，则它是“f”的 非本质奇点。点“a”是非本质奇点[[iff |当且仅当]Laurent级数具有无穷多个负次幂。

Nonisolated singularities

非孤立奇点 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:

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.

簇点：孤立奇点的限制点。如果它们都是极点，尽管在每个极点上都有Laurent级数展开式，那么在极限条件下，这样的展开是不可能的

• Natural boundaries: any non-isolated set (e.g. a curve) on which functions cannot be analytically continued around (or outside them if they are closed curves in the Riemann sphere).

自然边界：函数不能在其上解析连续围绕的任何非孤立集（如曲线）（如果它们是黎曼球面中的闭合曲线，则在其外部）。

Branch points分支点

Branch points are generally the result of a multi-valued function, such as [math]\displaystyle{ \sqrt{z} }[/math] or [math]\displaystyle{ \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]\displaystyle{ z=0 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ z=\infty }[/math] for [math]\displaystyle{ \log(z) }[/math]) which are fixed in place.

分支点通常是多值函数的结果，比如sqrt { z } 或log (z)，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。当真正需要切割时，函数将在分支切割的每一侧具有明显不同的值。。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 z = 0 和z = infty ，用于log (z)) ，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 kinematics and PDEs (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 laws for various exponents of the form [math]\displaystyle{ x^{-\alpha}, }[/math] of which the simplest is hyperbolic growth, where the exponent is (negative) 1: [math]\displaystyle{ 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]\displaystyle{ (t_0-t)^{-\alpha} }[/math] (using t for time, reversing direction to [math]\displaystyle{ -t }[/math] so that time increases to infinity, and shifting the singularity forward from 0 to a fixed time [math]\displaystyle{ t_0 }[/math]).

当一个输入变量为时间时，出现有限时间奇点，而输出变量在有限时间向无穷大方向增加。这些在运动学和偏微分方程（偏微分方程）中很重要——无穷大在物理上并不存在，但在奇点附近的行为通常是令人感兴趣的。从数学上讲，最简单的有限时间奇点是x-α形式的各种指数的幂律，其中最简单的是双曲增长，其中指数为（负）1:x−1。更准确地说，为了随着时间的推移在正时间处获得奇点（因此输出增长到无穷大），可以使用（t0−t）−α（使用t表示时间，将方向反转为−t，以便时间增加到无穷大，并将奇点从0向前移动到固定时间t0）。

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).

Algebraic geometry and commutative algebra代数几何与交换代数

In algebraic geometry, a 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 cusps. For example, the equation y模板:Sup − x模板:Sup = 0 defines a curve that has a cusp at the origin x = y = 0. One could define the 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 x-axis is a "double tangent."

The simplest example of singularities are curves that cross themselves. But there are other types of singularities, like cusps. For example, the equation − x = 0 }} defines a curve that has a cusp at the origin . One could define the -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 -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 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.
