m rv myself (sgn(x) can't fit this definition) and clarify which H(x) does fit this definition as a special case.

== Special step functions ==
TheA version of the ''unit step function'' or [[Heaviside step function]], H<sub>1</sub>(x), is the special case n=1, &alpha;<sub>0</sub>=0, x&alpha;<sub>1</sub>=01, and &alpha;x<sub>1</sub>=10.
 
The ''signum function'' or [[sign function]] is the special case n=2, &alpha;<sub>0</sub>=-1, x<sub>1</sub>=0, &alpha;<sub>1</sub>=0, x<sub>2</sub>=0, and &alpha;<sub>2</sub>=1.
