Obviously, dim T ψ (∂Ω) = E and every complexvaluedfunction g ψ ∈ T ψ (∂Ω) can be represented asg ψ =Eg k ψ kand thus it can be identified with a vector g := [g 1 , . . . , g E ] T ∈ C E .k=1A smooth enough function g can be approximated by a linear combination of piecewiseconstant functions in several ways. <strong>The</strong> simplest approach is to setg k = g(x k∗ )
