The resulting representations, both in terms of one function and many, are important for reformulating general discrete variables as binary, and also for linearizing mixed-integer generalized ...

Temperature sensors such as RTDs produce small resistance changes as a function of temperature. You can linearize a bridge circuit’s output by adding external linearizing circuits.
