Interpolation of Random Hyperplanes

Ery Arias-Castro, University of California, San Diego


Abstract
Let (Zi,Wi): i=1,...,n be uniformly distributed in [0,1]d X G(k,d), where G(k,d) denotes the space of k-dimensional linear subspaces of Rd. For a differentiable function f from [0,1]k into [0,1]d, we say that f interpolates (z,w) in [0,1]d X G(k,d) if there exists x in [0,1]k such that f(x) = z and vec{f}(x) = w, where vec{f}(x) denotes the tangent space at x defined by f. For a smoothness class F of Holder type, we obtain probability bounds on the maximum number of points a function f in F interpolates.
