Lipschitz functions are a class of continuous functions between metric spaces that have some properties with respect to functions' monotonicity and their properties when computing their inverses. These functions are named after the Russian mathematician Rudolf Lipschitz. Lipschitz continuity, which extends the one-dimensional concept of Lipschitz continuity, states that a function f(X) is Lipschitz continuous on the set X if there exists a constant K such that for all x, y in X, |f(x) - f(y)| ≤ K |x - y|.

The condition for Lipschitz continuity implies that the function has "bounded" slopes: near each point, it either grows and shrinks at a rate that is bounded above and below, or it remains constant. The condition does not necessarily imply that the function is differentiable. In real analysis and elsewhere, Lipschitz continuity is used as a fundamental concept, and it characterizes many regularity properties that an arbitrary continuous function may or may not have. Lipschitz functions are used to analyze existence and uniqueness problems of differential equations. The computer graphics community and the differential geometry of curves also draw upon the theory of Lipschitz continuity.

In various other areas of mathematics, different types of Lipschitz continuity appear. Since Lipschitz functions satisfy a crucial condition of monotonicity in addition to the continuity conditions, they are used in differential equations to establish many mathematical properties of functions with bounded local variations in their differential transformations when applying their mathematical formulas or geometric reformulations such as handles with spline and smooth or cubic interpolation between points on the input curves before measuring the extent of joining tensile.''

A Lipschitz function is sometimes also referred to as a global Lipschitz function.
