Definition

Let $X$ and $Y$ be real sets.

Let $f: X \to Y$ be a real function.

Let $x \in X$.


The oscillation of $f$ at $x$ is defined as:

$\ds \map {\omega_f} x := \inf \set {\map {\omega_f} {\openint {x - \epsilon} {x + \epsilon} \cap X}: \epsilon \in \R_{>0} }$

where $\map {\omega_f} {\openint {x - \epsilon} {x + \epsilon} \cap X}$ denotes the oscillation of $f$ on $\openint {x - \epsilon} {x + \epsilon} \cap X$.
