This is an announcement for the paper "On the convergence of a weak greedy algorithm for the multivariate Haar basis" by S. J. Dilworth, S. Gogyan, and Denka Kutzarova. Abstract: We define a family of weak thresholding greedy algorithms for the multivariate Haar basis for $L_1[0,1]^d$ ($d \ge 1$). We prove convergence and uniform boundedness of the weak greedy approximants for all $f \in L_1[0,1]^d$. Archive classification: math.FA math.CA Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 41A65.
