Limits

For (x0, y0) an interior or a boundary point of the domain of a function f (x, y ). Definition:

lim f (x, y ) = L

(x,y )(x0,y0)

if for every > 0 there is a > 0 such that: for all (x, y ) in the domain of f if

0 < (x - x0)2 + (y - y0)2 <

then |f (x, y ) - L| < .

This definition is really the same as in one dimension and so satisfies the same rules with respect to +, -, ?, ?. See for example page 803 for a list.

For example:

if

lim f (x, y ) = L and lim g (x, y ) = K

(x,y )(x0,y0)

(x,y )(x0,y0)
