Adaptive approximation.


et MATH be a mesh on the interval $\left[ 0,1\right] $ , MATH . We consider approximation of functions MATH with piecewise constant functions $\tilde{u}$ , MATH and investigate possibility to have an estimate of the form MATH for some function MATH .

First, we note that if we require that such estimate would hold for a fixed mesh and any MATH then the function $C\left( n\right) $ cannot have the desirable property MATH Indeed, consider a mesh-dependent function $u$ : MATH For the best piecewise constant approximation $\tilde{u}$ we have MATH thus MATH is not possible.

However, it is possible to have MATH if the mesh MATH is adapted to a given function $u$ . We start from $x_{0}=0$ and position $x_{1}$ to satisfy MATH for some input parameter $\Delta$ . We continue recursively MATH Since MATH we eventually stop at a step $n$ such that MATH Let MATH then MATH Note that MATH thus $\Delta$ is connected to $n$ via a relationship of the form MATH
