Piecewise Linear Functions (PWLs) can be used to approximate any 1D function. PWLs are built with a configurable number of line segments - the more segments the more accurate the approximation. This ...

Publish your MATLAB® functions to MATLAB Production Server™ as Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools. This allows AI agents to call your functions, enhancing their capabilities with domain-specific ...

Abstract: In the piecewise function evaluation with polynomial approximation, nonuniform segmentation can effectively reduce the size of lookup tables for some arithmetic functions compared to uniform ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel basis function, called spherical piecewise constant basis function (SPCBF), for precomputed radiance transfer. SPCBFs have several desirable properties: ...

Natural selection uses duplicated genes as raw material for functional innovation, co-opting their existing features to new functions. Understanding genetic innovation requires two questions to be ...

What are some common liver tests? A series of blood tests can often find out if the liver is inflamed, injured, or working normally. These tests can also tell the difference between acute and chronic ...
