Abstract:In this paper we present a systematic approach to find piecewise-linear approximations of multivariate continuous nonlinear functions, by ensuring a good trade-off between approximation accuracy and model complexity. The proposed (suboptimal) method is based on genetic programming and takes into account the circuit constraints concerning the lower bounds for the size of each domain region (called simplex) where a given nonlinear function is approximated linearly. As a benchmark example, we approximate the well… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
