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.) Surfaces in R3: Graphs vs Level Sets Graphs (z= f(x;y)): The graph of f: R2!R is f(x;y;z) 2R3 jz= f(x;y)g: Example: When we say \the surface z= x2 + y2," we really mean: \The graph of the func-tion f ...

Nov 14, 2024 · For example, the level set of the function f(x,y,z)=x^2+y^2+z^2 corresponding to the value c is the sphere x^2+y^2+z^2=c with center (0,0,0) and radius sqrt(c). If n=2, the level set is a plane curve known as a level curve. If n=3, 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).
