Determine differentiability of a x and y dataset

4 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hello everybody,
I have a dataset (x old, y old). Now I do some math on it and get a new dataset (x new, y new). To check whether my calculations are correct, the curve of the new datset must be differentiable.
Do you have any ideas, how I could do this "check"?
Thank you
Cheers
Christian

As you can see, the critical spot of the new dataset looks sometimes like this:
And now I need to find out, if the new curve is smooth or looks like above. It would be perfect if the code would give me a result which looks something like this:
new_dataset_1 = false ("not differentiable")
new_dataset_2 = true ("differentiable")
new_dataset_3 = true
new_dataset_4 = false...

The concept of diferrentiable does not mean much for a discretised function. By definition dy/dx always exists when you have a vector of x and y values, unless one of y or x is infinite or NaN.
So really the only thing you could test is
assert(all(isfinite(xnew)) & all(isfinite(ynew)))

Guillaume is right: For a discretized function, the term "differentiable" has no meaning. A line like x=[1,2,3], y=[1,2,100] might or might not represent a differentiable function, because even a smooth function can contain a huge derivative in one point. There is also no to "proove" if sin(1/x) is differentiable in x=0 if all you have is a finite number of its values.
All you can decide based on a set of data points is if the difference between neighboring points exceeds a certain limit or not. But this does not mean differentiablility.

I know what differentiability means, therefore I asked this question to the community.
But I think I might get along with the diff(x) < 0 thing in 99% of the time.
