Note that sequences ([u.sub.n]) and ([M.sup.n] [nabla][nabla] [u.sub.n]) in the above definition are bounded in [H.sup.2.sub.0]([OMEGA]) and [L.sup.2]([OMEGA];Sym), respectively, and thus converge (on a subsequence).

The sequence [([S.sub.n]).sub.n[member of]N] is a family of analytic functions which is uniformly bounded on every compact subset of C \ R, hence by Montel's theorem there exists a subsequence [mathematical expression not reproducible] that converges uniformly on compact subsets of C \ R to an analytic function S, and also its derivatives converge uniformly on these compact subsets:

In order to find a subsequence that minimizes the distance to the reference over all possible subsequences of query, we modify the initial conditions of the classic DTW algorithm by setting d (i, 0) = [infinity] for i [member of] [0 : n] and d(0, j) = 0 for j [member of] [0 : m].
