| Sep 18, 2013 at 15:58 | comment | added | ems | Thanks @MartinHairer ! How do you guarantee that moving masses from further points to close points results in a piecewise constant function with some a ? why not for example add more mass to the close point to further improve the expectation ? Also, it seems that you have an implicit assumption that there is an optimal f which I want to guarantee in the first place. | |

| Aug 7, 2013 at 9:48 | comment | added | ems | Yes, simply I want to know if there is a minimal function, such that I start looking for it. | |
