This operator adds the argument function fct to the invoking piecewise linear function.

This member function adds v to the value of the invoking piecewise linear function everywhere on the interval [x1,x2).

This member function creates and returns a new function that is a copy of the invoking function.

This member function multiplies by k the scale of x for the invoking piecewise linear function. k must be a nonnegative numeric value. More precisely, if the invoking function was defined over an interval [xMin,xMax), it will be redefined over the interval [k///xMin,k///xMax) and the value at x will be the former value at x/k.

This member function returns the area of the invoking piecewise linear function on the interval [x1,x2). An instance of IException is thrown if the interval [x1,x2) is not included in the definition interval of the invoking function.

This member function returns the right-most point of the definition interval of the invoking piecewise linear function.

This member function returns the left-most point of the definition interval of the invoking piecewise linear function.

This member function returns the maximal value of the invoking piecewise linear function on the interval [x1,x2). An instance of IException is thrown if the interval [x1,x2) is not included in the definition interval of the invoking function.

This member function returns the minimal value of the invoking piecewise linear function on the interval [x1,x2). An instance of IException is thrown if the interval [x1,x2) is not included in the definition interval of the invoking function.

This member function returns the value of the function at point x.

This operator multiplies by a factor k the value of the invoking piecewise linear function everywhere on the definition interval.

This member function sets the value of the invoking piecewise linear function to be the maximum between the current value and the value of fct everywhere on the definition interval of the invoking function. The interval of definition of fct must be the same as that of the invoking piecewise linear function.

This member function sets the value of the invoking piecewise linear function to be the maximum between the current value and v everywhere on the interval [x1,x2).

This member function sets the value of the invoking piecewise linear function to be the maximum between the current value and the value of the linear function:

x --> v1 + (x-x1)///(v2-v1)/(x2-x1) everywhere on the interval [x1, x2).

This member function sets the value of the invoking piecewise linear function to be the minimum between the current value and the value of fct everywhere on the definition interval of the invoking function. The definition interval of fct must be the same as the one of the invoking piecewise linear function.

This member function sets the value of the invoking piecewise linear function to be the minimum between the current value and v everywhere on the interval [x1,x2).

This member function sets the value of the invoking piecewise linear function to be the minimum between the current value and the value of the linear function:

x --> v1 + (x-x1)///(v2-v1)/(x2-x1) everywhere on the interval [x1,x2).

This member function initializes the invoking function as a piecewise linear function that repeats the piecewise linear function f, n times after x0. More precisely, if f is defined on [xfpMin,xfpMax) and if the invoking function is defined on [xMin,xMax), the value of the invoking function will be:

• dval on [xMin, x0),
• f((x-x0+xfpMin) % (xfpMax-xfpMin)) for x in [x0, Min(x0+n///(xfpMax-xfpMin), xMax)), and
• dval on [Min(x0+n///(xfpMax-xfpMin), xMax), xMax)

This member function changes the value of the invoking function on the interval [x1,x2). On this interval, the invoking function is set to equal a repetition of the pattern function f with an initial offset of offset. The invoking function is not modified outside the interval [x1,x2). More precisely, if [min,max) denotes the definition interval of f, for all t in [x1,x2), the invoking function at t is set to equal f(min + (offset+t-x1)%(max-min))) where % denotes the modulo operator. By default, the offset is equal to 0.

This member function initializes the invoking function as a piecewise linear function whose segments are defined by the two argument arrays x and v. More precisely, the size n of array x must be equal to the size of array v, and if the created function is defined on the interval [xmin,xmax), its values will be:

• v[0] on interval [xmin, x[0]),
• v[i] + (t-x[i])v[i+1]-v[i])/(x[i+1]-x[i]) for t in [x[i], x[i+1]) for all i in [0, n-2] such that x[i-1] != x[i], and
• v[n-1] on interval [x[n-1],xmax).

This member function sets the value of the invoking piecewise linear function equal to f, associating for each x in [x1,x2) -> f(x) = v + slope /// (x-x1).

This member function sets the value of the invoking piecewise linear function to beant and equal to v on the interval [x1,x2).

This member function shifts the invoking function from dx to the right if dx > 0 or -dx to the left if dx < 0. It has no effect if dx = 0. More precisely, if the invoking function is defined on [xMin,xMax) and dx > 0, the new value of the invoking function is:

• dval on the interval [xMin,xMin+dx),
• for all x in [xMin+dx,xMax), the former value at x-dx.

If dx < 0, the new value of the invoking function is:

• for all x in [xMin,xMax+dx), the former value at x-dx,
• dval on the interval [xMax+dx,xMax).

This operator subtracts the argument function fct from the invoking piecewise linear function.
