What does singularity mean?
Singularity is usually an undefined point on a mathematical object, or when it can't be sorted under special circumstances, it makes this point appear in the abnormal set.

1. Singularity in tangent line

The undefined point that seems to be "approaching" to ∞ in real numbers is the singularity x= 0. The equation g(x) = |x| (see absolute value) also contains the singular point x= 0 (because it is non-differentiable at this point). Similarly, there is a singularity (0,0) at y=x, because this point contains a vertical tangent. An algebraic set in the (x, y) dimensional system is defined as y= 1/x, and the singularity is (0,0), because tangents are not allowed here. ?

2. Singularity in geometry

A "geometric singularity" is also an infinitesimal and nonexistent "point". You can imagine a one-dimensional space (such as a straight line), a two-dimensional space (such as a surface), or a three-dimensional space. When it is infinite, take the last "point" with a small limit, which does not exist, that is, the singularity.

3. Mathematical Graph Theory

In mathematical graph theory, in undirected graph G, the number of edges associated with vertex V is called the degree or degree of vertex V, and vertices with odd degrees are called singularities.
