    Discrete orthogonal projections on multiple knot periodic splines

    Get PDF
    AbstractThis paper establishes properties of discrete orthogonal projections on periodic spline spaces of order r, with knots that are equally spaced and of arbitrary multiplicity M⩽r. The discrete orthogonal projection is expressed in terms of a quadrature rule formed by mapping a fixed J-point rule to each sub-interval. The results include stability with respect to discrete and continuous norms, convergence, commutator and superapproximation properties. A key role is played by a novel basis for the spline space of multiplicity M, which reduces to a familiar basis when M=1

    Multiscale approximation for functions in arbitrary Sobolev spaces by scaled radial basis functions on the unit sphere

    AbstractIn this paper, we prove convergence results for multiscale approximation using compactly supported radial basis functions restricted to the unit sphere, for target functions outside the reproducing kernel Hilbert space of the employed kernel

    Equidistribution of the Fekete points on the sphere

    Get PDF
    The Fekete points are the points that maximize a Vandermonde-type determinant that appears in the polynomial Lagrange interpolation formula. They are well suited points for interpolation formulas and numerical integration. We prove the asymptotic equidistribution of the Fekete points in the sphere. The way we proceed is by showing their connection with other array of points, the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund arrays and the interpolating arrays, that have been studied recently

    Fermat-linked relations for the Boubaker polynomial sequences via Riordan matrices analysis

    Get PDF
    The Boubaker polynomials are investigated in this paper. Using Riordan matrices analysis, a sequence of relations outlining the relations with Chebyshev and Fermat polynomials have been obtained. The obtained expressions are a meaningful supply to recent applied physics studies using the Boubaker polynomials expansion scheme (BPES).Comment: 12 pages, LaTe

    Point sets on the sphere S2\mathbb{S}^2 with small spherical cap discrepancy

    Full text link
    In this paper we study the geometric discrepancy of explicit constructions of uniformly distributed points on the two-dimensional unit sphere. We show that the spherical cap discrepancy of random point sets, of spherical digital nets and of spherical Fibonacci lattices converges with order N1/2N^{-1/2}. Such point sets are therefore useful for numerical integration and other computational simulations. The proof uses an area-preserving Lambert map. A detailed analysis of the level curves and sets of the pre-images of spherical caps under this map is given

    Quasi-Monte Carlo rules for numerical integration over the unit sphere S2\mathbb{S}^2

    Full text link
    We study numerical integration on the unit sphere S2R3\mathbb{S}^2 \subset \mathbb{R}^3 using equal weight quadrature rules, where the weights are such that constant functions are integrated exactly. The quadrature points are constructed by lifting a (0,m,2)(0,m,2)-net given in the unit square [0,1]2[0,1]^2 to the sphere S2\mathbb{S}^2 by means of an area preserving map. A similar approach has previously been suggested by Cui and Freeden [SIAM J. Sci. Comput. 18 (1997), no. 2]. We prove three results. The first one is that the construction is (almost) optimal with respect to discrepancies based on spherical rectangles. Further we prove that the point set is asymptotically uniformly distributed on S2\mathbb{S}^2. And finally, we prove an upper bound on the spherical cap L2L_2-discrepancy of order N1/2(logN)1/2N^{-1/2} (\log N)^{1/2} (where NN denotes the number of points). This slightly improves upon the bound on the spherical cap L2L_2-discrepancy of the construction by Lubotzky, Phillips and Sarnak [Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 39 (1986), 149--186]. Numerical results suggest that the (0,m,2)(0,m,2)-nets lifted to the sphere S2\mathbb{S}^2 have spherical cap L2L_2-discrepancy converging with the optimal order of N3/4N^{-3/4}

    Pointwise convergence of multiple Fourier series: Sufficient conditions and an application to numerical integration

    Get PDF
    AbstractSufficient conditions are established for the pointwise convergence of square partial sums of multiple Fourier series, in any number of dimensions, for functions with discontinuities. The result is used to extend the theory of lattice rules for multiple integration
