Abstract

A weakly admissible mesh (WAM) on a continuum real-valued domain is a sequence of discrete grids such that the discrete maximum norm of polynomials on the grid is comparable to the supremum norm of polynomials on the domain. The asymptotic rate of growth of the grid sizes and of the comparability constants must grow in a controlled manner. In this paper, we recognize that the notion of a WAM can be generalized to a sequence of hierarchical subspaces not necessarily of polynomial functions, and we analyze particular strategies for random sampling as a technique for generating WAM's. Our main results show that WAM's and their stronger variant, admissible meshes (AM's), can be generated by random sampling, and our analysis provides concrete estimates for growth and rates of growth of both the meshes and the discrete–continuum comparability constants.
