ifsm.setQF {ifs}

Sets up the quadratic form for the IFSM

Description

Tool function to construct the quadratic form x'Qx + b'x + l2 to be minimized under some constraint depending on l1. This is used to construct the IFSM operator.

Usage

ifsm.setQF(u, s, a)

Arguments

u

the vector of values of the target function u

s

the vector of coefficients s_i in: w_i = s_i *x + a_i

a

the vector of coefficients a_i in: w_i = s_i *x + a_i

Details

This operator is intended to approximate a function on L2[0,1]. If ‘u’ is simulated, then the IFSM can be used to simulate a IFSM version of ‘u’.

Value

List of elements

Q

the matrix of the quadratic form

b

the matrix of the quadratic form

L1

the L1 norm of the target function

L2

the L2 norm of the target function

M1

the integral of the target function
