Definition:Signum Function/Signum Complement

Definition
Let $\operatorname{sgn}: \N \to \N$ be the signum function on the natural numbers.

The signum complement function $\overline {\operatorname{sgn}}: \N \to \N$ is defined as:
 * $\forall n \in \N: \overline {\operatorname{sgn}} \left({n}\right) = \begin{cases}

1 & : n = 0 \\ 0 & : n > 0 \end{cases}$

Also known as
Informally, as an obvious derivation of the notation, used, $\overline {\operatorname{sgn}}$ is often referred to as signum bar.

However, googling for signum bar is likely to lead you to an Italian eatery.
