Examples
- A constant function is a trivial example of a step function. Then there is only one interval,
- The Heaviside function H(x) is an important step function. It is the mathematical concept behind some test signals, such as those used to determine the step response of a dynamical system.
- The rectangular function, the normalized boxcar function, is the next simplest step function, and is used to model a unit pulse.
