Comonotone Approximation


The approximation of a piecewise monotonic function f by a polynomial with the same monotonicity. Such comonotonic approximations can always be accomplished with nth degree polynomials, and have an error of Aomega(f;1/n) (Passow and Raymon 1974, Passow et al. 1974, Newman 1979).
