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.)

Nov 14, 2024 · 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.
A level curve of a function f(x,y) is the curve of points (x,y) where f(x,y) is some constant value. A level curve is simply a cross section4 of the graph of z=f(x,y) taken at a constant value, say z=c. A function has many level curves, as one obtains a different level curve for each value of c in the range of f(x,y).

Given a function: from a set X (the domain) to a set Y (the codomain), the graph of the function is the set [4] = {(, ()):}, which is a subset of the Cartesian product.In the definition of a function in terms of set theory, it is common to identify a function with its graph, although, formally, a function is formed by the triple consisting of its domain, its codomain and its graph.
