On the quantum complexity of approximating median of continuous distribution

Numerical Analysis 2018-11-27 v1

Abstract

We consider approximating of the median of absolutely continuous distribution given by a probability density function ff. We assume that ff has rr continuous derivatives, with derivative of order rr being H\"older continuous with the exponent ρ\rho. We study the ϵ\epsilon-complexity of this problem in the quantum setting. We show that the ϵ\epsilon-complexity up to logarithmic factor is of order ϵ1/((r+ρ+1))\epsilon^{-1/((r+\rho+1))}.
