A Fast Segmentation Algorithm for Piecewise Polynomial Numeric Function Generators

Abstract

The existence of large logic circuits has led to increased interest in an old problem - the realization of numeric functions. More than 150 years ago, Babbage designed the difference engine to automatically compute logarithmic and trigonometric functions [1]. This was intended to replace hand computation which was prone to error.
