Hyperinterpolation on the square

摘要

We show that hyperinterpolation at (near) minimal cubature points for the product Chebyshev measure, along with Xu compact formula for the corresponding reproducing kernel, provide a simple and powerful polynomial approximation formula in the uniform norm on the square. The Lebesgue constant of the hyperinterpolation operator grows like log2 of the degree, as that of quasi-optimal interpolation sets recently proposed in the literature. Moreover, we give an accurate implementation of the hyperinterpolation formula with linear cost in the number of cubature points, and we compare it with interpolation formulas at the same set of points.
