On the piecewise-concave approximations of functions

Optimization and Control 2014-04-18 v2

Abstract

The piecewise-concave function may be used to approximate a wide range of other functions to arbitrary precision over a bounded set. In this short paper, this property is proven for three function classes: (a) the multivariate twice continuously differentiable function, (b) the univariate Lipschitz-continuous function, and (c) the multivariate separable Lipschitz-continuous function.
