ReLU activation is defined as follows
$$sigma(x)=max(0, x).$$
Let's assume that I have deep network of 1 hidden layer, than output from my layer has form
$$ f(x)= sigma(Wx +b), $$
where matrix W represents the weights, b is bias and x stands for input data (output of previous layer).



What is connection between $f(x)$ and piecewise linear function, defined as
$$g(x_j)=sum_i=N^N alpha_i psi_i(x_j),$$
where $alpha_i$ stands for the coefficients and $psi_i$ for the basis function.



More precisely, I would like to identify basis functions and coefficients in the definition of $f(x)$.

    could you add more details in your question about the piecewise linear basis functions? The more details you add with what you thinking to compare, the more precise the answer you will get!
