Abstract
In this paper we study definable families of functions from an ordered abelian group into various naturally arising definable quotients. We show that for an ordered abelian group and definable family of convex subgroups , any definable family of functions with is uniformly piecewise linear; for a prime , integers , and groups defined later, if or we instead obtain that the definable family of functions is uniformly piecewise a boolean combination of linear functions to quotients by subgroups which are uniformly definable from .
