Problem



What is the clearest mathematical notation for the following situation:



If I have a function $f(x)$ that is executed for an arbitrary range and step e.g. from $x = 0$ to $x = 10$ with step 2. How do I express the median of all computed values?



What I already have



I had the idea to split the problem into two parts. The first part is representing a set of computed values of $f(x)$ according to the defined limits and step size as $F$. Whereas the second part is simply defining the median as $M$ so that $M(F)$ is the solution to my problem.



But I am unable to write the first step. How should I proceed?

  • What do you mean from your example? That we are only considering $f(0),f(2),f(4),f(6),f(8),f(10)$?

  • Yes, in that example we are only considering $f(0), f(2), f(4), f(6), f(8), f(10)$

  • Could you let $F$ denote the set of values for $f(x)$ with the given step size, in sorted order? Then you can just take the middle value, or the average of the two middle values.
