Abstract: This paper deals with the approximation of discrete real-valued functions by first-degree splines (broken lines) with free knots for arbitrary $L_p$-norms ($1leqpleqinfty)$. We prove the existence of best approximations und derive statements on the position of the (free) knots of a best approximation. Building on this, elsewhere we develop an algorithm to determine a (global) best approximation in the $L_2$-norm.
