The focus of this paper is the approximation of analytic functions on compact intervals from their pointwise values on arbitrary grids. We introduce a new method for this problem based on mapped polynomial approximation. By careful selection of the mapping parameter, we ensure both high accuracy of the approximation and an asymptotically optimal scaling of the polynomial degree with the grid spacing. As we explain, efficient implementation of this method can be achieved using nonuniform fast…

On Kosloff Tal-Ezer least-squares quadrature formulas
• Computer Science, Mathematics
ArXiv
• 2021
This work investigates the combination of the Kosloff Tal-Ezer map and Least-squares approximation for numerical quadrature and finds that some static choices of the map’s parameter improve the results of the composite trapezoidal rule, while a dynamic approach achieves larger stability and faster convergence, even when the sampling nodes are perturbed.

The possibility theorem shows that there is a well-conditioned method that provides exponential decay of the error down to a finite, but user-controlled tolerance ǫ > 0, which in practice can be chosen close to machine epsilon.

Stable discontinuous mapped bases: the Gibbs-Runge-Avoiding Stable Polynomial Approximation (GRASPA) method
• Computer Science, Mathematics
Comput. Appl. Math.
• 2021
This work proposes a novel approach, termed Gibbs-Runge-Avoiding Stable Polynomial Approximation (GRASPA), where both Runge’s and Gibbs phenomena are mitigated and a theoretical analysis of the Lebesgue constant associated to the mapped nodes is provided.
We investigate the use of the so-called mapped bases or fake nodes approach in the framework of numerical integration. We show that such approach is able to mitigate the Gibbs phenomenon when
