Years ago, I implemented a piecewise-linear approximation algorithm based on this [1] paper. I was amused that the primary author was a high schooler, the secondary working at Infineon, both in Torrance, CA. The math isn't beyond high school level, so I figured it was some AP level exercise between the parent and the child at writing/publishing a paper. Now I have doubts :) [1] http://www.iaeng.org/publication/WCECS2008/WCECS2008_pp1191-1194.pdf http://www.iaeng.org/publication/WCECS2008/WCECS2008_pp1191-...
