Abstract

We consider the graphs of functions representable in the form h(x) = Σj=1n ajfj(x) where the fj constitute a linearly independent set of functions over R. These graphs are digitized by the set of lattice points (i, ⌊h(i)⌋). An algorithm is presented to determine if a given set of lattice points is part of such a digitization. We also study the digitization of polynomials. An important tool used is the set of differences of the y-coordinates (digital derivatives). For example, if h(x) is a polynomial of degree n, then its n-th digital derivative is cyclic and its (n + 1)st digital derivative has a bound which depends only on n.
