This paper proposes a new type of digital pulse-mode neuron that employs piecewise-linear function as its activation function. The neuron is implemented on field programmable gate array (FPGA) and ...

Piecewise-linear functions are used to model the propagation delays and estimate the correlation between the different degradation mechanisms and the PVT variations.

In this problem, the optimal path is one that maximizes the expected utility, with the utility function being piecewise-linear and concave. Such a utility function can be used to approximate nonlinear ...

We consider piecewise H¹ functions and vector fields associated with a class of meshes generated by independent refinements and show that they can be effectively analyzed in terms of the number of ...
