Plot a piecewise-defined function












0












$begingroup$


I would like to plot the following function:



$$
begin{align}
Lambda(deltatau) &equiv chi(deltatau, 0)
= frac{1}{T_i} int_0^{T_i} a(t_0+t')a(t_0+t'+deltatau) dt' \
&= begin{cases}
1 - frac{left|deltatauright|}{tau_c}, &left|deltatauright| le tau_c(1+frac{tau_c}{T_i}) \
-frac{tau_c}{T_i}, &left|deltatauright| gt tau_c(1+frac{tau_c}{T_i}) \
end{cases}
end{align}
$$

which represents a simple triangular shape.
There is a conditional statement. My implementation uses a for loop as follows:



def waf_delay(delay_increment):
for d in delay_increment:
if np.abs(d) <= delay_chip*(1+delay_chip/integration_time):
yield 1 - np.abs(d)/delay_chip
else:
yield -delay_chip/integration_time;

integration_time = 1e-3 # seconds
delay_chip = 1/1.023e6 # seconds

x=np.arange(-5.0, 5.0, 0.1)
y=list(waf_delay(x))
plt.plot(x, y)
plt.show()


Is there a more correct way to transform an array based on a condition rather than just looping through it? Instead of having something like this:




def f(x_array):
for x in x_array:
if np.abs(x) <= 3:
yield 1 - x/3
else:
yield 0

x=np.arange(-5.0, 5.0, 0.1)
y=list(f(x))
plt.plot(x, y)
plt.show()



I would like to write something like this:




def f(x):
if np.abs(x) <= 3:
yield 1 - x/3
else:
yield 0


x=np.arange(-5.0, 5.0, 0.1)
plt.plot(x, f(x))
plt.show()



that could take an array.
