Fitting a two-joint orthogonal chain to a point set
We study the problem of fitting a two-joint orthogonal polygonal chain to a set S of n points in the plane, where the objective function is to minimize the maximum orthogonal distance from S to the chain. We show that this problem can be solved in Θ(n) time if the orientation of the chain is fixed, and in Θ(n log n) time when the orientation is not a priori known. We also consider some variatio...
متن کاملLinear-Time Fitting of a k-Step Function
Given a set of n weighted points on the x-y plane, we want to find a step function consisting of k horizontal steps such that the maximum vertical weighted distance from any point to a step is minimized. We solve this problem in O(n) time when k is a constant. Our approach relies on the prune-and-search technique, and can be adapted to design similar linear time algorithms to solve the line-con...
متن کاملA New Approach to Distribution Fitting: Decision on Beliefs
We introduce a new approach to distribution fitting, called Decision on Beliefs (DOB). The objective is to identify the probability distribution function (PDF) of a random variable X with the greatest possible confidence. It is known that f X is a member of = { , , }. 1 m S f L f To reach this goal and select X f from this set, we utilize stochastic dynamic programming and formulate this proble...
متن کاملFitting a Cm - Smooth Function to Data
Suppose we are given a finite subset E ⊂ R and a function f : E → R. How to extend f to a C function F : R → R with C norm of the smallest possible order of magnitude? In this paper and in [20] we tackle this question from the perspective of theoretical computer science. We exhibit algorithms for constructing such an extension function F , and for computing the order of magnitude of its C norm....
متن کاملA fixed point result for a new class of set-valued contractions
In this paper, we introduce a new class of set-valued contractions and obtain a xed point theoremfor such mappings in complete metric spaces. Our main result generalizes and improves many well-known xed point theorems in the literature.
