%C Comment from Charles Fefferman, courtesy of _Doron Zeilberger_, Dec 02 2014: (Start)

%C Fix a dimension n. For a real-valued function f defined on a finite set E in R^n, let Norm(f, E) denote the inf of the C^2 norms of all functions F on R^n that agree with f on E. Then there exist constants k and C depending only on the dimension n such that Norm(f, E) <= C*max{ Norm(f, S) }, where the max is taken over all k-point subsets S in E.  Moreover, the best possible k is 3 * 2^(n-1).

%C The analogous result, with the same k, holds when the C^2 norm is replaced, e.g., by the C^1, alpha norm (0 < alpha <= 1). However, the optimal analogous k, e.g., for the C^3 norm is unknown.

%C For the above results, see Y. Brudnyi and P. Shvartsman (1994). (End)
