We discuss the Shepard operators S_n (f; x) in this paper and establish the saturation of the sequence {S_n f} _n-1 ^∞ , as well as investigate some related questions. The research of this author was supported in part by the Hungarian Science Foundation for Research, Grant. N ^o . 1157.     

Limits of interpolatory processes

Given distinct real numbers and a positive approximation of the identity , which converges weakly to the Dirac delta measure as goes to zero, we investigate the polynomials which solve the interpolation problem

with prescribed data . More specifically, we are interested in the behavior of when the data is of the form for some prescribed function . One of our results asserts that if is sufficiently nice and has sufficiently well-behaved moments, then converges to a limit which can be completely characterized. As an application we identify the limits of certain fundamental interpolatory splines whose knot set is , where is an arbitrary finite subset of the integer lattice , as their degree goes to infinity.

     

Bivariate interpolatory rational splines

Smoothing conditions in terms of Bézier coefficients of piecewise rational functions on an arbitrary triangulation are derived. This facilitates the solution of the problem of bivariate rational spline interpolation, with or without convexity constraints, particularly on the three and four-directional meshes. For such a triangulation, we also derive the conformality condition that a bivariate rationale spline function must satisfy, and we demonstrate the interpolation scheme with a low-degree example.The research of this author was supported by NSF Grant # DMS-92-06928.     

Approximation with interpolatory constraints

Best approximation with interpolatory constraints is considered. A sufficient condition for an approximating function to be a unique best approximation is presented. A necessary condition is deduced if uniqueness holds.     

On interpolatory divergence-free wavelets

We construct interpolating divergence-free multiwavelets based on cubic Hermite splines. We give characterizations of the relevant function spaces and indicate their use for analyzing experimental data of incompressible flow fields. We also show that the standard interpolatory wavelets, based on the Deslauriers-Dubuc interpolatory scheme or on interpolatory splines, cannot be used to construct compactly supported divergence-free interpolatory wavelets.

     

Monotony in interpolatory quadratures

Summary Let , be holomorphic in an open disc with the centrez ₀=0 and radiusr>1. LetQ _n (n=1, 2, ...) be interpolatory quadrature formulas approximating the integral . In this paper some classes of interpolatory quadratures are considered, which are based on the zeros of orthogonal polynomials corresponding to an even weight function. It is shown that the sequencesQ _n 9f] (n=1, 2, ...) are monotone. Especially we will prove monotony in Filippi's quadrature rule and with an additional assumption onf monotony in the Clenshaw-Curtis quadrature rule.     

Convergence of Hermite interpolatory operators

Divergence-free wavelets play important roles in both partial differential equations and fluid mechanics. Many constructions of those wavelets depend usually on Hermite splines. We study several types of convergence of the related Hermite interpolatory operators in this paper. More precisely, the uniform convergence is firstly discussed in the second part; then, the third section provides the convergence in the Donoho’s sense. Based on these results, the last two parts are devoted to show the convergence in some Besov spaces, which concludes the completeness of Bittner and Urban’s expansions.     

Approximation with interpolatory constraints

Given a triangular array of points on satisfying certain minimal separation conditions, a classical theorem of Szabados asserts the existence of polynomial operators that provide interpolation at these points as well as a near-optimal degree of approximation for arbitrary continuous functions on the interval. This paper provides a simple, functional-analytic proof of this fact. This abstract technique also leads to similar results in general situations where an analogue of the classical Jackson-type theorem holds. In particular, it allows one to obtain simultaneous interpolation and a near-optimal degree of approximation by neural networks on a cube, radial-basis functions on a torus, and Gaussian networks on Euclidean space. These ideas are illustrated by a discussion of simultaneous approximation and interpolation by polynomials and also by zonal-function networks on the unit sphere in Euclidean space.

     

Two-dimension periodic cardinal interpolatory wavelets

In this paper, we construct two-dimension periodic interpolatory scaling function and wavelets from a periodic function g(x₁, x₂), whose Fourier coefficients are positive, and obtain some properties of scaling functions and wavelets.     

Overconvergence properties of quintic interpolatory splines

Let Q be a quintic spline with equi-spaced knots on [a, b] interpolating a given function y at the knots. The parameters which determine Q are used to construct a piecewise defined polynomial P of degree six. It is shown that P can be used to give at any point of [a, b] better orders of approximation to y and its derivatives than those obtained from Q. It is also shown that the superconvergence properties of the derivatives of Q, at specific points of [a, b], are all simple consequences of the properties of P.     

Matrices related to interpolatory quadratures

Summary An explicit formula for the coefficients of interpolatory quadratures with knots of arbitrary multiplicity which uses the eigenvectors and principal vectors of certain matrices is derived. The construction and properties of such matrices are discussed, and applications for the evaluation of Gauss and generalized Gauss-Lobatto quadratures are indicated.

Shape controlled interpolatory ternary subdivision

Ternary subdivision schemes compare favorably with their binary analogues because they are able to generate limit functions with the same (or higher) smoothness but smaller support.In this work we consider the two issues of local tension control and conics reproduction in univariate interpolating ternary refinements. We show that both these features can be included in a unique interpolating 4-point subdivision method by means of non-stationary insertion rules that do not affect the improved smoothness and locality of ternary schemes. This is realized by exploiting local shape parameters associated with the initial polyline edges.
