A Newton-type method for computing best segment approximations
This paper presents a new method for computing best segment
approximations. It is based on Newton iteration,
but modified to obtain global convergence.
The method is described in detail and a thorough convergence
analysis is given. Polynomials are used as approximating functions. Not that the basic method will produce approximations that are not
smooth and coninuity is not guaranteed. Howwever, we will describe applications
to produce smooth spline approximation with
free knots.
