ANOVA decomposition of convex piecewise linear functions
Piecewise linear convex functions arise as integrands in stochastic programs. They are Lipschitz continuous on their domain, but do not belong to tensor product Sobolev spaces. Motivated by applying Quasi-Monte Carlo methods we show that all terms of their ANOVA decomposition, except the one of highest order, are smooth if the underlying densities are smooth and a certain geometric condition is...
متن کاملSpace Efficient Approximation of Piecewise Linear Functions
In this work, we compute upper bounds of piecewise linear functions which is a special case of piecewise linear approximation. There are several application areas like pattern recognition or cartography. The goal is to reduce the number of sampling points while still preserving the characteristics of given data. The problem of approximating a given piecewise linear function with n sampling poin...
متن کاملApproximation by piecewise constants on convex partitions
We show that the saturation order of piecewise constant approximation in Lp norm on convex partitions with N cells is N −2/(d+1), where d is the number of variables. This order is achieved for any f ∈ W 2 p (Ω) on a partition obtained by a simple algorithm involving an anisotropic subdivision of a uniform partition. This improves considerably the approximation order N−1/d achievable on isotropi...
متن کاملComputing the conjugate of convex piecewise linear-quadratic bivariate functions
We present a new algorithm to compute the Legendre–Fenchel conjugate of convex piecewise linear-quadratic (PLQ) bivariate functions. The algorithm stores a function using a (primal) planar arrangement. It then computes the (dual) arrangement associated with the conjugate by looping through vertices, edges, and faces in the primal arrangement and building associated dual vertices, edges, and fac...
متن کاملConvex piecewise-linear fitting
We consider the problem of fitting a convex piecewise-linear function, with some specified form, to given multi-dimensional data. Except for a few special cases, this problem is hard to solve exactly, so we focus on heuristic methods that find locally optimal fits. The method we describe, which is a variation on the K-means algorithm for clustering, seems to work well in practice, at least on d...
