[note PostGIS contains an algorithm with the same name and the 
  same functionality.
  See the [@https://postgis.net/docs/ST_Simplify.html PostGIS documentation].

[heading Behavior]
Simplification is done using [@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramer%E2%80%93Douglas%E2%80%93Peucker_algorithm Douglas-Peucker] (if the default strategy is used).
[note Geometries might become invalid by using simplify. The simplification
process might create self-intersections.
