, a function
is symmetrically continuous at a point ''x'' if
:
The usual definition of
continuity implies symmetric continuity, but the converse is not true. For example, the function
is symmetrically continuous at
, but not continuous.
Also,
symmetric differentiability implies symmetric continuity, but the converse is not true just like usual continuity does not imply differentiability.
