Examples
- The function f: R → R defined by
is bounded, because 0≤ f (x) ≤ 1 for all x. Therefore it is also locally bounded.
- The function f: R → R defined by
is not bounded, as it becomes arbitrarily large. However, it is locally bounded because for each a, |f(x)| ≤ M in the neighborhood (a - 1,a + 1), where M = 2|a|+5.
- The function f:R → R defined by
for x ≠ 0 and taking the value 0 for x=0 is not locally bounded. In any neighborhood of 0 this function takes values of arbitrarily large magnitude.

Famous quotes containing the word examples:
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
“Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
