Novel convex decomposition of piecewise affine functions

9 Aug 2021  ·  Nils Schlüter, Moritz Schulze Darup ·

In this paper, we present a novel approach to decompose a given piecewise affine (PWA) function into two convex PWA functions. Convex decompositions are useful to speed up or distribute evaluations of PWA functions. Different approaches to construct a convex decomposition have already been published. However, either the two resulting convex functions have very high or very different complexities, which is often undesirable, or the decomposition procedure is inapplicable even for simple cases. Our novel methodology significantly reduces these drawbacks in order to extend the applicability of convex decompositions.
