In this paper, we develop a functional form for canonical piecewise-linear (CPWL) functions defined over a minimal degenerate intersection of order . This type of intersection is known to be the building block of CPWL representations. Accordingly, the representation proposed is the main component in a general CPWLrepresentation and constitutes the first functional form that is valid in a domain that has arbitrary dimension and is subdivided by a generic partition.
