| dc.description.abstract | We present in this paper a canonical form for the elements in the ring of continuous piecewise polynomial functions. This new representation is based on the use of a particular class of functions fCi(P) : P 2 Q[x]; i = 0; : : : ; deg(P)g de ned by Ci(P)(x) = 0 if x P(x) if x where is the i-th real root of the polynomial P. These functions will allow us to represent and manipulate easily every continuous piecewise polynomial function through the use of the corresponding canonical form. It will be also shown how to produce a \rational" representation of each function Ci(P) allowing its evaluation by performing only operations in Q and avoiding the use of any real algebraic number. Keywords: Continuous piecewise polynomial functions; Pierce-Birkho conjecture; Canonical form for func- tions; Conversion algorithms. | es_ES |
