WHAT DOES PIECEWISE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Piecewise

In mathematics, a piecewise-defined function is a function which is defined by multiple sub functions, each sub function applying to a certain interval of the main function's domain. Piecewise is actually a way of expressing the function, rather than a characteristic of the function itself, but with additional qualification, it can describe the nature of the function. For example, a piecewise polynomial function: a function that is a polynomial on each of its sub-domains, but possibly a different one on each. The word piecewise is also used to describe any property of a piecewise-defined function that holds for each piece but may not hold for the whole domain of the function. A function is piecewise differentiable or piecewise continuously differentiable if each piece is differentiable throughout its subdomain, even though the whole function may not be differentiable at the points between the pieces. In convex analysis, the notion of a derivative may be replaced by that of the subderivative for piecewise functions.

Definition of piecewise in the English dictionary

The definition of piecewise in the dictionary is with respect to a number of discrete pieces. Other definition of piecewise is in pieces or by degrees.
