Definition 3.58.

Let C⊂NℝC\subset N_{\mathbb{R}} be a convex polyhedron. A function f:C→ℝf\colon C\to\mathbb{R} is piecewise affine if there a finite cover of CC by closed subsets such that the restriction of ff to each of these subsets is an affine function. A concave function f:Nℝ→ℝ¯f\colon N_{\mathbb{R}}\to{\underline{\mathbb{R}}} is said to be piecewise affine if dom⁡(f){\operatorname{dom}}(f) is a convex polyhedron and the restriction f|dom⁡(f)f|_{{\operatorname{dom}}(f)} piecewise affine.
