Ammonia and related chemicals as potential indirect hydrogen storage materials

We show that the saturation order of piecewise constant approximation in Lp norm on convex partitions with N cells is N−2/(d+1), where d is the number of variables. This order is achieved for any on a partition obtained by a simple algorithm involving an anisotropic subdivision of a uniform partition. This improves considerably the approximation order N−1/d achievable on isotropic partitions. In addition we show that the saturation order of piecewise linear approximation on convex partitions is N−2/d, the same as on isotropic partitions.
