Abstract:

The paper is concerned with the best approximation of a piecewise constant univariate function with n constant pieces by a similar function with at most k constant pieces, where k<n. The authors show that for the case of the maximum norm, the general dynamic programming algorithm of complexity O(kn2) can be considerably improved.
