    Alternate form assuming x>0

    1

    Root

    x<0

    Derivative

    d/dx(θ(x)) = piecewise | 0 | x!=0 indeterminate | (otherwise)

    Indefinite integral

    integral θ(x) dx = x θ(x) + constant

    Global maxima

    max{θ(x)} = 1 for x>=0

    Global minima

    min{θ(x)} = 0 for x<0

    Limit

    lim_(x->-∞) θ(x) = 0

    lim_(x->∞) θ(x) = 1

    Alternative representation

    θ(x) = θ(x) for x!=0

    θ(x) = θ(x_1, x_2, ..., x_n) for (x_1 = x and n = 1)

    θ(x) = θ(x_1, x_2, ..., x_n) for (x_1 = x and x!=0 and n = 1)

    θ(x) = (1 + sgn(x))/2 for (x element R and x!=0)

    Series representation

    θ(x) = 1/2 + (2 sum_(k=0)^∞ sin(x + 2 k x)/(1 + 2 k))/π for -π

    Integral representation

    θ(x) = (lim_(ε->0) 1/ε integral_(-x)^∞ e^(-t^2/ε^2) dt)/sqrt(π)

    θ(x) = (lim_(ε->0) integral_(-∞)^x sin(t/ε)/t dt)/π

    θ(x) = (i lim_(ε->0) integral_(-∞)^∞ e^(-i t x)/(t + i ε) dt)/(2 π)
