A Digital Extrema-Resolving Technique

Abstract

It is often of interest to determine the extrema (maxima or minima) of a set of measurements. Such a set may be composed of the simultaneous measurements of components of a variable or it may consist of several measurements of a single variable taken over time. Such a set of measurements is by necessity quantized in time, space or in the units of the variable. The digital extrema-resolving technique interpolates the set of measurements in order to locate the extrema and also to resolve the inaccuracies of the extrema locations due to quantization.
