constant_pwc

Graph.constant_pwc(constant, duration, batch_dimension_count=0, *, name=None)

Creates a piecewise-constant function of time that is constant over a specified duration.

Parameters

  • constant (number or np.ndarray or Tensor) – The value \(c\) of the function on the constant segment. To create a batch of \(B_1 \times \ldots \times B_n\) piecewise-constant functions of shape \(D_1 \times \ldots \times D_m\), provide this constant parameter as an object of shape \(B_1\times\ldots\times B_n\times D_1\times\ldots\times D_m\).

  • duration (float) – The duration \(\tau\) for the resulting piecewise-constant function.

  • batch_dimension_count (int, optional) – The number of batch dimensions, \(n\) in constant. If provided, the first \(n\) dimensions of constant are considered batch dimensions. Defaults to 0, which corresponds to no batch.

  • name (str, optional) – The name of the node.

Returns

The constant function \(f(t) = c\) (for \(0\leq t\leq\tau\)) (or a batch of constant functions, if you provide batch_dimension_count).
