A fully discretised filtered polynomial approximation on spherical shells

摘要

A fully implementable filtered polynomial approximation on spherical shells is considered. The method proposed is a quadrature-based version of a filtered polynomial approximation. The radial direction and the angular direction of the shells are treated separately with constructive filtered polynomial approximation. The approximation error with respect to the supremum norm is shown to decay algebraically for functions in suitable differentiability classes. Numerical experiments support the results.
