A piecewise linear (PWL) model can be used to simplify a problem, by replacing a complex model with on that is made up of simpler (linear) pieces. For example, the IV curve for a diode is Id = Is( exp(Vd/n*Vt) - 1). Quite messy. We can instead represent the curve by two pieces. One where the current is zero from 0V, to arround 0.5-0.7V. From here, we approximate the exponential curve with a linear relationship. This linear region is typically fixed on a point on the exponential curve known as the operating point, Q. See link.

the piecewise linear chaotic map is defined as follows: xi+1=Fpi(xi)= xi/pi if 0<=xi<pi (xi-pi)/(0.5-pi) if pi<=xi<0.5 Fp(1-xi) if xi>=0.5 where 0<=xi<1 and the control parameter 0<pi<0.5
A bistellar flip is another term for a Pachner move, any of a set of ways of replacing a triangulation of a piecewise linear manifold by a different triangulation of a homeomorphic manifold.
Linear Programming is used for determining a way to find the best solution or outcome for a given mathematical model represented as a linear relationship.
The Linear sequential model suggests a systematic sequential approach to software development. That begins at the system level and progresses through analysis, design, coding, testing, and support.
The RAD model, also known as the Rapid Application Development, is a linear software for creating prototypes. The Waterfall model is a sequential software.
