We show that near-optimal approximation error can nevertheless be achieved, in an expected $L^2$ sense, as soon as the sample size $m$ is larger than the dimension $n$ of the approximation space by a constant ratio. On the other hand, for $m=n$, we obtain an interpolation strategy with a stability factor of order $n$. The proposed sampling algorithms are greedy procedures based on arXiv:0808.0163 and arXiv:1508.03261, with polynomial computational complexity.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.07435v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.07435v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"randomized-least-squares-with-minimal","repo_url":"https://github.com/belloliva/minimal-oversampling-for-multivariate-polynomial-least-squares","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
