Abstract

We exhibit an algorithm to solve the following extension problem: Given a finite set ERnE \subset \mathbb{R}^n and a function f:ERf: E \rightarrow \mathbb{R}, compute an extension FF in the Sobolev space Lm,p(Rn)L^{m,p}(\mathbb{R}^n), p>np>n, with norm having the smallest possible order of magnitude, and secondly, compute the order of magnitude of the norm of FF. Here, Lm,p(Rn)L^{m,p}(\mathbb{R}^n) denotes the Sobolev space consisting of functions on Rn\mathbb{R}^n whose mmth order partial derivatives belong to Lp(Rn)L^p(\mathbb{R}^n). The running time of our algorithm is at most CNlogNC N \log N, where NN denotes the cardinality of EE, and CC is a constant depending only on mm,nn, and pp.
