Such functions occur in probability theory in connection with infinitely divisible distributions. The function tp is called exponentially bounded if it is bounded in modulus by a constant times a non-negative submultiplicative function [2, 3].

Bounded growth occurs when the growth rate of a mathematical function is constantly increasing at a decreasing rate. This contrasts with exponential growth, which is constantly increasing at an accelerating rate, and therefore approaches infinity in the limit. An example of bounded growth is the logistic function.

In mathematics, a function f defined on some set X with real or complex values is called bounded if the set of its values is bounded. In other words, there exists a real number M such that. for all x in X. A function that is not bounded is said to be unbounded.

Bounded and Unbounded Intervals An interval is said to be bounded if both of its endpoints are real numbers. Bounded intervals are also commonly known as finite intervals. Conversely, if neither endpoint is a real number, the interval is said to be unbounded.

A sequence is bounded if it is bounded above and below, that is to say, if there is a number, k, less than or equal to all the terms of sequence and another number, K’, greater than or equal to all the terms of the sequence. Therefore, all the terms in the sequence are between k and K’.

Properties of Exponential Growth Functions Range: If a>0, the range is {positive real numbers} The graph is always above the x axis. Horizontal Asymptote: when b>1, the horizontal asymptote is the negative x axis, as x becomes large negative. Using mathematical notation: as x → −∞, then y → 0.

If a is positive and b is greater than 1 , then it is exponential growth. If a is positive and b is less than 1 but greater than 0 , then it is exponential decay.

Definition in the real numbers A set S of real numbers is called bounded from above if there exists some real number k (not necessarily in S) such that k ≥ s for all s in S. A set S is bounded if it has both upper and lower bounds. Therefore, a set of real numbers is bounded if it is contained in a finite interval.

Any function that isn’t bounded is unbounded. A function can be bounded at one end, and unbounded at another. If a function only has a range with an upper bound (i.e. the function has a number that fixes how high the range can get), then the function is called bounded from above. Usually, the lower limit for the range is listed as -∞.

[ ĕk′spə-nĕn′shəl ] Relating to a mathematical expression containing one or more exponents.♦ Something is said to increase or decrease exponentially if its rate of change must be expressed using exponents. A graph of such a rate would appear not as a straight line, but as a curve that continually becomes steeper or shallower.

Probability density function. The probability density function (pdf) of an exponential distribution is. Alternatively, this can be defined using the right-continuous Heaviside step function, H(x) where H(0) = 1: Here λ > 0 is the parameter of the distribution, often called the rate parameter. The distribution is supported on the interval [0, ∞).
