I need to define some function like f(x,y) = x * sin(y)/y if y != 0, x otherwise, such that f can be differentiated. Is there a way to do so? Thanks!
piecewise currently only supports a single variable, but in your case you could factor out the x and define
f(x,y) = x * piecewise([[(-oo,0), sin(y)/y], [[0,0], 1], [(0,oo), sin(y)/y]])The square brackets around the origin denote a closed domain to ensure that point is included.
