In this paper we study the uniform approximation of the cut function by smooth sigmoid functions such as Nelder and Turner–Blumenstein–Sebaugh growth functions. To illustrate the use of one of the models we have fitted the model to the “classical Verhulst data”. Several numerical examples are presented throughout the paper using the contemporary computer algebra system MATHEMATICA.
