So in fact the problem is to find y such that

(y[i(k)+n] - y[i(k)])>= delta
for n<= len(x) - 1 - i
and i(0) = 0, i(k+1) = i(k) + n

? Well a loop or list comparison seems like a good choice to me. It is
much more obvious at the expense of two LOCs. Did you profile the two
possibilities and are they actually performance-critical?

cheers

Playing around with range/arange can be misleading as
>> x[x%4==0]
array([ 0.,  4.,  8.])

I don't know you really want because your first code
>>> x= numpy.arange(10.)
>>> delta=3
>>> y=[x[0]]
>>> for value in x:
...     if (y[-1] -value) < delta:
...        y.append(value)
...
>>> y
[0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0]

Which is not [0, 4, 8].
