Caratheodory-Tchakaloff Subsampling

Abstract

We present a brief survey on the compression of discrete measures by Caratheodory-Tchakaloff Subsampling, its implementation by Linear or Quadratic Programming and the application to multivariate polynomial Least Squares. We also give an algorithm that computes the corresponding Caratheodory-Tchakaloff (CATCH) points and weights for polynomial spaces on compact sets and manifolds in 2D and 3D.
