I have N monotonic sequences in the form of tn[i] = Tn*i + Pn (Tn > 0, Pn >=0), e.g.:
t1[i] = T1*i + P1
t2[j] = T2*j + P2
...
I need to find another sequence s[k] (not necessary in the same form) that approximates union of given sequences in such a way that:
- For any sequence from the union
tnand for anyithere's suchkthat|s[k] - tn[i]| < E, whereEis a given positive constant. - For any
kfollowing holdss[k] - s[k-1] > D, whereDis a given positive constant.
How can I approach this class of problems? Engineer here, sorry if my terminology is off or if I didn't formalize the problem up to standards. I'm not even sure how to tag it.
The ultimate goal is to find minimal E (if it exists) for a given D (or for a given E find largest possible D).
Below is example for two sequences t1[j] = 5j and t2[i] = 6i with E=1.5 and D=4.5 (I don't think that's the optimal solution, but just to illustrate what I'm after).
