For a function of three variables, a level set is a surface in three-dimensional space that we will call a level surface. For a constant value c c in the range of f(x, y, z) f (x, y, z), the level surface of f f is the implicit surface given by the graph of c = f(x, y, z) c = f (x, y, z).

When n = 3, a level set is called a level surface (or isosurface); so a level surface is the set of all real-valued roots of an equation in three variables x 1, x 2 and x 3. For higher values of n, the level set is a level hypersurface, the set of all real-valued roots of an equation in n > 3 variables. A level set is a special case of a fiber.
A level set corresponding to an output is a set of all points in the domain of with the property that . (In other words, all the points in the level set are assigned the same value, , by the function , and any point in the domain of with output is in that level set .) When working with functions , the level sets are known as level curves.
Note: Every graph is a level set (why?). But not every level set is a graph. Graphs must pass the vertical line test. (Level sets may or may not.)

Example 2. Let f(x, y, z) = x2 +y2 +z2 f (x, y, z) = x 2 + y 2 + z 2. Although we cannot plot the graph of this function, we can graph some of its level surfaces. The equation for a level surface, x2 +y2 +z2 = c x 2 + y 2 + z 2 = c, is the equation for a sphere of radius c√ c. The applet did not load, and the above is only a static image ...
Nov 14, 2024 · Level Set. The level set of a differentiable function corresponding to a real value is the set of points. For example, the level set of the function corresponding to the value is the sphere with center and radius . If , the level set is a plane curve known as a level curve. If , the level set is a surface known as a level surface.

the level curve f(x,y)=c is the graph of c=−x2−2y2. As long as c<0, this graph is an ellipse, as one can rewrite the equation for the level curve as (If c is negative, then both denominators are positive.) For example, if c=−1, the level curve is the graph of x2+2y2=1. In the level curve plot of f(x,y) shown
