# PiecewiseChebyshev
<Class id="qiskit.circuit.library.PiecewiseChebyshev" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.18/qiskit/circuit/library/arithmetic/piecewise_chebyshev.py" signature="PiecewiseChebyshev(f_x, degree=None, breakpoints=None, num_state_qubits=None, name='pw_cheb')" modifiers="class">
Bases: `qiskit.circuit.library.blueprintcircuit.BlueprintCircuit`
Piecewise Chebyshev approximation to an input function.
For a given function $f(x)$ and degree $d$, this class implements a piecewise polynomial Chebyshev approximation on $n$ qubits to $f(x)$ on the given intervals. All the polynomials in the approximation are of degree $d$.
The values of the parameters are calculated according to \[1].
**Examples**
```python
import numpy as np
from qiskit import QuantumCircuit
from qiskit.circuit.library.arithmetic.piecewise_chebyshev import PiecewiseChebyshev
f_x, degree, breakpoints, num_state_qubits = lambda x: np.arcsin(1 / x), 2, [2, 4], 2
pw_approximation = PiecewiseChebyshev(f_x, degree, breakpoints, num_state_qubits)
pw_approximation._build()
qc = QuantumCircuit(pw_approximation.num_qubits)
qc.h(list(range(num_state_qubits)))
qc.append(pw_approximation.to_instruction(), qc.qubits)
qc.draw(output='mpl')
```
