Limits of Rolle theorem












3












$begingroup$


I would like to see a function $f:[a,b]tomathbb{R}$ that is differentiable in $(a,b)$ but it is not continuous at least at one of the interval boundary points $a$ or $b$. Can you show me one?



This is a curiosity that would make me to see limits of Rolle theorem, because one of its hypothesis is that the function $f$ has to be continuous in the entire closed interval $[a,b]$, even if it could be differentiable only in the open $(a,b)$.



Thank you.

    I think the question is pretty clear: "why can we not relax the requirement of continuity on $[a,b]$ in Rolle's theorem?".

Consider $f(x) = frac{1}{x}$ in $[0, 1]$ and define $f(0) = 0.5$.



Then by the extreme value theorem - which is needed to make Rolle's Theorem work - since $f$ doesn't obtain a maximum, $f$ is not continuous on $[a,b]$.

How to label and detect the document text images

Image
1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...

Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica.
