  2. Piecewise function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piecewise_function

    Terms like piecewise linear, piecewise smooth, piecewise continuous, and others are very common. The meaning of a function being piecewise P {\displaystyle P} , for a property P {\displaystyle P} is roughly that the domain of the function can be partitioned into pieces on which the property P {\displaystyle P} holds, but is used slightly ...

  3. Step function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Step_function

    As such, the step functions form an algebra over the real numbers. A step function takes only a finite number of values. If the intervals , for =,, …, in the above definition of the step function are disjoint and their union is the real line, then () = for all . The definite integral of a step function is a piecewise linear function.

  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. 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.

  6. Linear interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_interpolation

    Linear interpolation on a data set (red points) consists of pieces of linear interpolants (blue lines). Linear interpolation on a set of data points (x 0, y 0), (x 1, y 1), ..., (x n, y n) is defined as piecewise linear, resulting from the concatenation of linear segment interpolants between each pair of data points.

  7. Classification of discontinuities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of...

    The function in example 1, a removable discontinuity. Consider the piecewise function = {< = >. The point = is a removable discontinuity.For this kind of discontinuity: The one-sided limit from the negative direction: = and the one-sided limit from the positive direction: + = + at both exist, are finite, and are equal to = = +.

  8. Sign function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_function

    The signum function of a real number is a piecewise function which is defined as follows: [1] ⁡:= {<, =, > The law of trichotomy states that every real number must be positive, negative or zero. The signum function denotes which unique category a number falls into by mapping it to one of the values −1 , +1 or 0, which can then be used in ...

  9. Numerical integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_integration

    Quadrature rules based on step functions [ edit ] A "brute force" kind of numerical integration can be done, if the integrand is reasonably well-behaved (i.e. piecewise continuous and of bounded variation ), by evaluating the integrand with very small increments.
