Definition 3.4.

A function f:S⁡(𝒳)→ℝf\colon S(\mathscr{X})\to\mathbb{R} is called piecewise linear if there is a subdivision of S⁡(𝒳)S(\mathscr{X}) such that the restriction of ff to each edge of the subdivison is affine. We call such an ff integral Γ\Gamma-affine if there is a subdivision such that each edge ee has length in Γ\Gamma, such that f|ef|_{e} has integer slopes, and such that f⁡(v)∈Γf(v)\in\Gamma for each vertex vv of the subdivision.
