Everything about Microcontinuity
Mathematical term
In nonstandard analysis, a discipline within classical mathematics, microcontinuity (or S-continuity) of an internal function f at a point a is defined as follows:for all x infinitely close to a, the value f(x) is infinitely close to f(a). Wikipedia →
