We introduce in this paper the concept of quadruple D−synchronous functions which generalizes the concept of a pair of synchronous functions, we establish an inequality similar to Chebyshev inequality and we also provide some Cauchy-Bunyakovsky-Schwarz type inequalities for a functional associated with this quadruple. Some applications for univariate functions of real variable are given. Discrete inequalities are also stated.

Piecewise linear (PWL) functions are used in a variety of applications. Computing such continuous PWL functions, however, is a challenging task. Software packages and the literature on PWL function fitting are dominated by heuristic methods. This is true for both fitting discrete data points and continuous univariate functions. The only exact methods rely on nonconvex model formulations. Exact methods compute continuous PWL function for a fixed number of breakpoints minimizing some distance function between the original function and the PWL function. An optimal PWL function can only be computed if the breakpoints are allowed to be placed freely and are not fixed to a set of candidate breakpoints. In this paper, we propose the first convex model for optimal continuous univariate PWL function fitting. Dependent on the metrics chosen, the resulting formulations are either mixed-integer linear programming or mixed-integer quadratic programming problems. These models yield optimal continuous PWL functions for a set of discrete data. On the basis of these convex formulations, we further develop an exact algorithm to fit continuous univariate functions. Computational results for benchmark instances from the literature demonstrate the superiority of the proposed convex models compared with state-of-the-art nonconvex models.
