Open conjectures about limits, continuity and the behavior of functions, including claims reaching into physics through analytic tools. Belongs here: unproved analytic claims such as those concerning the Navier-Stokes equations or the Riemann zeta function. Does not belong here: number-theoretic conjectures that use analytic methods, filed under Number Theory, since the object of study rather than the method decides placement.
