On the Number of Segments Needed in a Piecewise Linear Approximation

Abstract

The introduction of high-speed circuits to realize an arithmetic function f as a piecewise linear approximation has created a need to understand how the number of segments depends on the interval a less or equal to x less than b and the desired approximation error epsilon.
