continuity:a function y=f(x) is called continuous at point x if,given arbitrary open neighbourhood of f(x) in the range, which is denoted as N(f(x)), the inverseimage f^-1(N(f(x))) is also open.
differentiable: y=f(x) is called differentiable at point x if in the neighbourhood of x in the domain the function f(x) can be approximated expressed as the linear combination of delta(x). differentiable can also be called linearizability.
concave: y=f(x) is called downward concave(=upward convex) in interval I if f(x/2+y/2)>f(x)/2+f(y)/2 for any x,y in the interval I.
quasi concave: y=f(x) is called quasi concave in the area N if the set {x|f(x)>t} is a convex set for any t belong to R.
I don't know if the above definitions are correct, because i study these definitions long before. someone may correct them for me.
