piecewise function
[math] f(x) =\left\{\begin{array}{l} {\rm some\ shit~if~}x<5 \\ {\rm other~shit~if~}x\geq 5\end{array}\right.[/math]

This, or else some shenanigans with the absolute value function.

Heaviside step function

Anonymous at Tue, 21 May 2024 17:01:33 UTC No. 16186387

dir = (p1-p2)
slope = dir.x / dir.y
y = slope * x

learn about spline and piecewise linear functions dude. they're among the most simple, most ubiquitous, and easiest to use everywhere.

isn't this literally what tropical geometry is about?
