A real polynomial function is a polynomial function in the real numbers, a function with a natural number and a list of length of real numbers which satisfy one of these conditions:
for all ,
where is the -th power function for multiplication.
is a solution to the -th order linear homogeneous ordinary differential equation
with initial conditions
for each natural number
The degree of a real polynomial function is defined as the maximum natural number such that . In constructive mathematics, there exist real polynomial functions for which one cannot prove that a particular natural number is the degree of the real polynomial function: i.e. the function sub--algebra of real polynomial functions is not a Euclidean domain.
Given a real polynomial function , is a pointwise continuous function with respect to its metric topology defined through the absolute value function, subtraction, and its strict linear order.
Given a real polynomial function , is a pointwise differentiable function with respect to its metric topology defined through the absolute value function, subtraction, and its strict linear order.
Every real polynomial function is a smooth function. This could be shown coinductively: A smooth function is a pointwise differentiable function whose derivative is also smooth, and thus the -th derivative of a smooth function is a smooth function. The zero function is a smooth function, every real polynomial function is a pointwise differentiable function and the -th derivative of a polynomial function, with a natural number and a list of length of real numbers such that one of the two conditions above is satisfied, is the zero function. Thus, every polynomial function is a smooth function.
The proof of pointwise continuity using epsilontic analysis is spelled out for instance in
