  2. Piecewise function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piecewise_function

    In applied mathematical analysis, "piecewise-regular" functions have been found to be consistent with many models of the human visual system, where images are perceived at a first stage as consisting of smooth regions separated by edges (as in a cartoon); [9] a cartoon-like function is a C 2 function, smooth except for the existence of ...

  3. Piecewise linear function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piecewise_linear_function

    Since the graph of an affine(*) function is a line, the graph of a piecewise linear function consists of line segments and rays. The x values (in the above example −3, 0, and 3) where the slope changes are typically called breakpoints, changepoints, threshold values or knots.

  4. Piecewise property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piecewise_property

    A function property holds piecewise for a function, if the function can be piecewise-defined in a way that the property holds for every subdomain. Examples of functions with such piecewise properties are: Piecewise constant function, also known as a step function; Piecewise linear function; Piecewise continuous function

  5. Maps of manifolds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maps_of_manifolds

    Just as there are various types of manifolds, there are various types of maps of manifolds. PDIFF serves to relate DIFF and PL, and it is equivalent to PL.. In geometric topology, the basic types of maps correspond to various categories of manifolds: DIFF for smooth functions between differentiable manifolds, PL for piecewise linear functions between piecewise linear manifolds, and TOP for ...

  6. Lebesgue integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebesgue_integral

    The integral of a positive real function f between boundaries a and b can be interpreted as the area under the graph of f, between a and b.This notion of area fits some functions, mainly piecewise continuous functions, including elementary functions, for example polynomials.

  7. Step function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Step_function

    In mathematics, a function on the real numbers is called a step function if it can be written as a finite linear combination of indicator functions of intervals. Informally speaking, a step function is a piecewise constant function having only finitely many pieces. An example of step functions (the red graph).

  8. List of mathematical functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_functions

    In mathematics, some functions or groups of functions are important enough to deserve their own names. This is a listing of articles which explain some of these functions in more detail. There is a large theory of special functions which developed out of statistics and mathematical physics.

  9. Piecewise linear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piecewise_linear

    Piecewise linear function, a function whose domain can be decomposed into pieces on which the function is linear; Piecewise linear manifold, a topological space formed by gluing together flat spaces; Piecewise linear homeomorphism, a topological equivalence between two piecewise linear manifolds; Piecewise linear cobordism, a cohomology theory
