Definition:Discontinuity (Real Analysis)/Jump/Jump

Definition
Let $X$ be an open subset of $\R$.

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

Let $f$ be discontinuous at some point $c \in X$ such that $c$ is a jump discontinuity of $f$.

The jump at $c$ is defined as:
 * $\ds \lim_{x \mathop \to c^+} \map f x - \lim_{x \mathop \to c^-} \map f x$

A jump is also known as a saltus.
