Let $D\geq 2$, $S\subset \mathbb R^D$ be finite and let $\phi:S\to \mathbb R^D$ with $\phi$ a small distortion on $S$. We solve the Whitney extension-interpolation-alignment problem of how to understand when $\phi$ can be extended to a function $\Phi:\mathbb R^D\to \mathbb R^D$ which is a smooth small distortion on $\mathbb R^D$. Our main results are in addition to Whitney extensions, results on interpolation and alignment of data in $\mathbb R^D$ and complement those of [26]. 查看全文>>
