The approximate degree of a Boolean function f is the least degree of a real polynomial that approximates f pointwise to error at most 1/3. Approximate degree is known to be a lower bound on quantum query complexity. We resolve or nearly…

A Dirichlet-type problem is studied for an equation of even order with variable coefficients. A criterion for the uniqueness of a solution is given. The solution is built in the form of a Fourier series. When justifying the convergence of…
We study the probability that a random polynomial with integer coefficients is reducible when factored over the rational numbers. Using computer-generated data, we investigate a number of different models, including both monic and non-monic…
Weighted least squares polynomial approximation uses random samples to determine projections of functions onto spaces of polynomials. It has been shown that, using an optimal distribution of sample locations, the number of samples required…
We study in this paper the function approximation error of multivariate linear extrapolation. The sharp error bound of linear interpolation already exists in the literature. However, linear extrapolation is used far more often in…
Conventional sampling and interpolation commonly rely on discrete measurements. In this paper, we develop a theoretical framework for extrapolation of signals in higher dimensions from knowledge of the continuous waveform on bounded…
A solution manifold is the collection of points in a $d$-dimensional space satisfying a system of $s$ equations with $s<d$. Solution manifolds occur in several statistical problems including hypothesis testing, curved-exponential families,…

The hypothesis that high dimensional data tend to lie in the vicinity of a low dimensional manifold is the basis of manifold learning. The goal of this paper is to develop an algorithm (with accompanying complexity guarantees) for fitting a…
The approximate degree of a Boolean function $f: \{-1, 1\}^n \to \{-1, 1\}$ is the minimum degree of a real polynomial that approximates $f$ to within error $1/3$ in the $\ell_\infty$ norm. In an influential result, Aaronson and Shi (J. ACM…
We consider the problem of discretizing one-dimensional, real-valued functions as graphs. The goal is to find a small set of points, from which we can approximate the remaining function values. The method for approximating the unknown…
A full interpolation theory for Sobolev functions with smoothness between 0 and 1 and vanishing trace on a part of the boundary of an open set is established. Geometric assumptions are of mostly measure theoretic nature and reach beyond…
We prove that almost every level set of a Sobolev function in a planar domain consists of points, Jordan curves, or homeomorphic copies of an interval. For monotone Sobolev functions in the plane we have the stronger conclusion that almost…
Multiresolution analyses based upon interpolets, interpolating scaling functions introduced by Deslauriers and Dubuc, are particularly well-suited to physical applications because they allow exact recovery of the multiresolution…
This work investigates finite differences and the use of interpolation models to obtain approximations to the first and second derivatives of a function. Here, it is shown that if a particular set of points is used in the interpolation…
Let $\Lambda \subset R$ be a strictly increasing sequence. For $r = 1,2$, we give a simple explicit expression for an equivalent norm on the trace spaces $W_p^r(R)|_\Lambda$, $L_p^r(R)|_\Lambda$ of the non-homogeneous and homogeneous…
The intention of this note is two-fold. First, we study integer optimization problems in standard form defined by $A \in\mathbb{Z}^{m\times{}n}$ and present an algorithm to solve such problems in polynomial-time provided that both the…
