Born's conditions for an acceptable "well-behaved" wavefunction F(x):
1. it must be finite everywhere, i.e. converge to 0 as x -> infinity
2. it must be single-valued
3. it must be a continuous function
4. and dF/dx must be continuous.
I'm having difficulty understanding the last condition for a specific example. I have a wavefunction, F(x) = exp[-|x|], and the derivative at x = 0 does not exist. Is dF/dx still continuous at x=0?
