Summary of sinc numerical methods

摘要

Sinc approximation methods excel for problems whose solutions may have singularities, or infinite domains, or boundary layers. This article summarizes results obtained to date, on Sinc numerical methods of computation. Sinc methods provide procedures for function approximation over bounded or unbounded regions, encompassing interpolation, approximation of derivatives, approximate definite and indefinite integration, solving initial value ordinary differential equation problems, approximation and inversion of Fourier and Laplace transforms, approximation of Hilbert transforms, and approximation of indefinite convolutions, the approximate solution of partial differential equations, and the approximate solution of integral equations, methods for constructing conformal maps, and methods for analytic continuation. Indeed, Sinc are ubiquitous for approximating every operation of calculus.
