Curiosity maths: names of non differentable points

41 Views Asked by At

This is a rather for-the-sake-of-curiosity question. I have studied the points in which a function might not be differentiable, and the most basic three cases are:

  • Angular Point: when both left and right limits of the derivative in that point $p$ do exist (finite) but their values are different

  • Cusp: when both left and right limits of the derivative in that point $p$ are infinite and their signs are opposite

  • Inflection point at vertical tangent: when both left and right limits of the derivative in that point $p$ are infinite and of the same signs.

Now the question: are there USED OR MISUSED names for other types of non differentiable points? For example those cases:

  • When one of the limits exists finite and the other is infinite (no matter of the sign)

  • When one ot the limits exists finite and the other does not exist.

  • When one of the limits is infinite and the other does not exist.

I have found, for the first one, that it can be called a semi-cusp point.

I am interested in knowing if other names / types are known in literature.
