Meaning in context

A real function is right-continuous at a if its limit along domain points decreasing to a equals f(a).

实函数在 a 处的右极限等于 f(a)，则称其在该点右连续。

Example

1[0,∞)\mathbf1_{[0,\infty)} is right-continuous at 00.

Usage and distinctions

Right continuity alone says nothing about the left limit.
