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 ...
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
A piecewise linear function is a function defined on a (possibly unbounded) interval of real numbers, such that there is a collection of intervals on each of which the function is an affine function. (Thus "piecewise linear" is actually defined to mean "piecewise affine ".)
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

Segmented regression, also known as piecewise regression or broken-stick regression, is a method in regression analysis in which the independent variable is partitioned into intervals and a separate line segment is fit to each interval. Segmented regression analysis can also be performed on multivariate data by partitioning the various ...
A valuation V is called piecewise-constant, if the corresponding value-density function v is a piecewise-constant function. In other words: there is a partition of the resource C into finitely many regions, C 1 ,..., C k , such that for each j in 1,..., k , the function v inside C j equals some constant U j .
creates the piecewise linear graph shown for the simple MARS model in the previous section. One might assume that only piecewise linear functions can be formed from hinge functions, but hinge functions can be multiplied together to form non-linear functions. Hinge functions are also called ramp, hockey stick, or rectifier functions.
