Abstract

Given a subset of $\R^\ndim$ of non-zero measure, defined through a blackbox function (an oracle), and assuming some regularity properties on this set, we build an efficient data structure representing this set. The naive approach would consists in sampling every point on a regular grid. As compared to it, our data structure has a complexity close to gaining one dimension both in terms of space and in number of calls to the oracle. This data structure produces a characteristic function (i.e. a function that can be used in lieu of the oracle), allows to measure the volume of the set, and allows to compute the distance to the boundary of the set for any point.
