At a singular point, a function and/or its derivatives becomes infinite or undefined (hence non analytic).
|
||||
One very common type of singularities (belonging to the family of isolated singularities) are poles where the function behaves $1/(\lambda - \lambda_c)^n$ where $n \in \mathbb{N}^*$ is the order of the pole.
|
||||
Another class of singularities are branch points resulting from a multi-valued function such as a square root or a logarithm function and usually implying the presence of so-called branch cuts which are lines or curves where the function ``jumps'' from one value to another.
|
||||
Yet another family of singularities are formed by critical points which lie on the real axis, have more complicated functional forms and where the nature of the function undergoes a sudden transition.

Critical points are singularities which lie on the real axis and where the nature of the function undergoes a sudden transition.
|

However, these do not clearly belong to a given class of singularities and they cannot be rigorously classified as they have more complicated functional forms.
