In this article, we extend the definition of Christoffel words to directed subgraphs of the hypercubic lattice in arbitrary dimension that we call Christoffel graphs. Christoffel graphs when $d=2$ correspond to well-known Christoffel words.…

We consider the problem of reconstructing an unknown function $u\in L^2(D,\mu)$ from its evaluations at given sampling points $x^1,\dots,x^m\in D$, where $D\subset \mathbb R^d$ is a general domain and $\mu$ a probability measure. The…
