Further Examples: UnitStep

Define the function u.

In[1]:=

This generates a square wave.

In[2]:=

Here is the integral of u from to .

In[3]:=

Out[3]=

When the argument of UnitStep is a polynomial with simple real roots, FunctionExpand expands the polynomial into monomials.

In[4]:=

Out[4]=

This gives a plot of the characteristic function of the unit disk.

In[5]:=
