Mar 10, 2015 at 15:52 comment added Clement C. I should mention I am also interested in approximation results: e.g., if I know the support $\{a,\dots,b\}$ of an otherwise arbitrary distribution $D$, is there a "small" family of log-concave distributions $\mathcal{L}_{\epsilon,a,b}$ that is guaranteed to "cover" $D$? (in the sense that at least one element of $\mathcal{L}_{\epsilon,a,b}$ will be a good approximation of $D$ in statistical distance) I know such cover (here, proper cover) results exist for some other classes of distributions, but am not aware of any for this particular class.
