Plateau (mathematics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A plateau of a function is a part of its domain where the function has constant value.

More formally, let U, V be topological spaces. A plateau for a function f: U → V is a path-connected set of points P of U such that for some y we have

f (p) = y

for all p in P.
