If I understand your question you want template like UnitStep[x_?NonNegative] := rhs and onother template for unwanted values Unitstep[x_?Negative] := 0. However your method should work with minor syntactical adjustments UnitStep[x_] := rhs/; NonNegative[x] UnitStep[x] := 0/;Negative[x] On Sat, 1 Apr 1995, Roger M.
