Truncated power function
Piecewise-defined function

In mathematics, the truncated power function with exponent n {\displaystyle n} is defined as

x + n = { x n :   x > 0 0 :   x ≤ 0. {\displaystyle x_{+}^{n}={\begin{cases}x^{n}&:\ x>0\\0&:\ x\leq 0.\end{cases}}}

In particular,

x + = { x :   x > 0 0 :   x ≤ 0. {\displaystyle x_{+}={\begin{cases}x&:\ x>0\\0&:\ x\leq 0.\end{cases}}}

and interpret the exponent as conventional power.

Relations

  • Truncated power functions can be used for construction of B-splines.
  • x ↦ x + 0 {\displaystyle x\mapsto x_{+}^{0}} is the Heaviside function.
  • χ [ a , b ) ( x ) = ( b − x ) + 0 − ( a − x ) + 0 {\displaystyle \chi _{[a,b)}(x)=(b-x)_{+}^{0}-(a-x)_{+}^{0}} where χ {\displaystyle \chi } is the indicator function.
  • Truncated power functions are refinable.
