Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Plot of the function f(x) = x - lb(x). It is defined for all real numbers x>0, its derivatives are f'(x) = 1 - 1/x·ln(2) and f''(x) = 1/x2·ln(2). Hence, it has a local minimum at x=1/ln(2), and no inflection points; it is strictly decreasing and increasing left and right of its minimum point, respectively. The restriction of f to each of these domains is injective, and thus has an inverse. The function is repeatedly used in proofs about Kolmogorov complexity.
