There are [[Sigmoid function#Examples|many other smooth, analytic approximations]] to the step function.<ref>{{MathWorld | urlname=HeavisideStepFunction | title=Heaviside Step Function}}</ref> Among the possibilities are:
<math display="block">\begin{align}
H(x) &= \lim_{k \to \infty} \left(\tfrac{1}{2} + \tfrac{1}{\pi}\arctan kx\right)\\
