Explicit piecewise-linear models

From MaRDI portal





Piecewise-linear approximation of nonlinear multivariable functions is considered. Using a fundamental scheme, three explicit models for piecewise-linear functions are introduced. Two special modifications are also discussed. It is shown that a canonical representation and its extensions, see [\textit{L. O. Chua} and \textit{S. M. Kang}, Proceedings of the IEEE 65, 915-929 (1977)], may be regarded as a special case of the model presented in the reviewed paper. Moreover, several remarks and comments on the relationships between different models for piecewise-linear functions are discussed. Practical applications are also pointed out and discussed. Finally, it should be stressed, that similar approximation problems have been considered in the paper [\textit{C. Kahlert} and \textit{L. O. Chua}, IEEE Trans. Circuits Syst. 37, 373-383 (1990; Zbl 0704.94026)].
