Absolute value function
Formulation 0
The absolute value function is the D4367: Unsigned real function \begin{equation} \mathbb{R} \to [0, \infty), \quad x \mapsto \begin{cases} x, \quad & x \geq 0 \\ -x, \quad & x < 0 \end{cases} \end{equation}
Formulation 1
The absolute value function is the D4367: Unsigned real function \begin{equation} \mathbb{R} \to [0, \infty), \quad x \mapsto x I_{[0, \infty)}(x) - x I_{(- \infty, 0)}(x) \end{equation}
