Abstract
Current methods for storing piecewise-linear mappings are discussed and compared. To do so, the model descriptions are all transformed into a general form. Among the aspects compared are the ease of modeling, the class of functions that can be modeled using a certain model description, and the suitability of using the models in simulators. No best model description is found, but it is made apparent that some models are better suited for certain applications than others
