Abstract

En 中文
We give a nonnegative step function with 575 equally spaced intervals such that & Vert;f & lowast;f & Vert;L2(R)2 & Vert;f & lowast;f & Vert;L infinity(R)& Vert;f & lowast;f & Vert;L1(R)>= 0.901564. This improves upon a recent result of Deepmind's AlphaEvolve from May 2025, which found a nonnegative step function with 50 equally space intervals for which the left hand side is >= 0.8962. Our function was found using simulated annealing and gradient based methods.
