A characterization of the orthogonal polynomials.
Converging sequences in metric space have Hausdorff dimension zero, but their metric dimension (limit capacity, entropy dimension, box-counting dimension, Hausdorff dimension, Kolmogorov dimension, Minkowski dimension, Bouligand dimension, respectively) can be positive. Dimensions of such sequences are calculated using a different approach for each type. In this paper, a rather simple formula for (lower, upper) metric dimension of any sequence given by a differentiable convex function, is derived....
The least concave majorant, , of a continuous function on a closed interval, , is defined by We present an algorithm, in the spirit of the Jarvis March, to approximate the least concave majorant of a differentiable piecewise polynomial function of degree at most three on . Given any function , it can be well-approximated on by a clamped cubic spline . We show that is then a good approximation to . We give two examples, one to illustrate, the other to apply our algorithm.
