In mathematics, a function on the real numbers is called a step function (or staircase function) if it can be written as a finite linear combination of indicator functions of intervals. Informally speaking, a step function is a piecewise constant function having only finitely many pieces. ==Definition and first consequences== A function is called a step function if it can be written as : for all real numbers where are real numbers, are intervals, and (sometimes written as ) is the indicator function of : : In this definition, the intervals can be assumed to have the following two properties: # The intervals are disjoint, for # The union of the intervals is the entire real line, Indeed, if that is not the case to start with, a different set of intervals can be picked for which these assumptions hold. For example, the step function : can be written as : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Step function」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
