Piecewise property

From HandWiki

In mathematics, piecewise properties may be exemplified in:

Calculus

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
  • Piecewise function or piecewise smooth function
  • Piecewise differentiable function

The concept of piecewise-defined functions is often generalized:
