Abstract
In this paper, we develop a functional form for canonical piecewise-linear (CPWL) functions defined over a minimal degenerate intersection of order k. This type of intersection is known to be the building block of CPWL representations. Accordingly, the representation proposed is the main component in a general CPWL representation and constitutes the first functional form that is valid in a domain that has arbitrary dimension and is subdivided by a generic partition.
