Yes, the formulas give just a hint why
half-pixel MVs are often better than integer pixel MVs,
although this is obviously not always true.

Ah. Finally I understand, I hope, your paper main idea. So you
generalize half-pixel linear interpolation into "infinite resolution"
linear interpolation, compute analytically the optimum MV in this
infinite resolution, and then round it to the nearest
half- or integer pixel location.

Interesting idea. I actually found your page when I was looking
for material for my paper, but back then I didn't quite understand it.

Might work nicely if newer standards such as H.264 would use
linear interpolation for fractional pixel interpolation, but as they don't, 
the methods are less useful :(
