\[x_j = |x_i |\]

absDiagram

Syntax:

  • function name: abs
  • input variable : \(x_i\)
  • output variable: \(x_j\)

Internal states : none

Discrete variable : \(z \in \{-1,1\}\)

Equations

\[0 = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} x_j - x_i & if & z=1 \\ x_i - x_j & if & z=-1 \end{array} \right.\]

Discrete transitions


if z = 1 then
    if xi < 0 then
        z ← −1
    end if
else
    if xi > 0 then
        z ← 1
    end if
end if

Initialization of discrete variables


if xi > 0 then
z ← 1
else
z ← 0
end if
