Linear F(x)

\(\left| {x-x_0 } \right| \)

\(x+x_0 -2\frac{xx_0 }{L}-\left| {x-x_0 } \right| \)

\(\left| {x-x_0 } \right| -\left| {x_J -x_0 } \right| \)

Quadratic F(x)

\(\left| {x-x_0 } \right| \)

\(\bullet \,\,\hbox {If }\hbox {L}/2\ge x_{0}\)

\(x_0 +\frac{x}{L}\left( {L-6x_0 } \right) +4x_0 \left( {\frac{x}{L}} \right) ^{2}-\left| {x-x_0 } \right| \)

\(\left| {x-x_0 } \right| -\left| {x_J -x_0 } \right| \)

\( \bullet \,\,\hbox {If }\hbox {L}/2\le x_{0}\)

\(x_0 +\frac{x}{L}\left( {2x_0 -3L} \right) +4\left( {L-x_0 } \right) \left( {\frac{x}{L}} \right) ^{2}-\left| {x-x_0 } \right| \)
