Abstract
Interpolation by polynomials on equispaced points is not always convergent due to the Runge phenomenon, and also, the interpolation process is exponentially ill-conditioned. By taking advantage of the optimality of the interpolation processes on the Chebyshev-Lobatto nodes, one of the best strategies to defeat the Runge phenomenon is to use the mock-Chebyshev nodes for polynomial interpolation. Mock-Chebyshev nodes asymptotically follow the Chebyshev distribution, and they are selected from a sufficiently large set of equispaced nodes. However, there are few studies in the literature regarding the computation of these points.
In a recent paper [1], we have introduced a fast algorithm for computing the mock-Chebyshev nodes for a given set of Chebyshev-Lobatto points using the distance between each pair of consecutive points. In this study, we propose a modification of the algorithm by changing the function to compute the quotient of the distance and show that this modified algorithm is also fast and stable; and gives a more accurate grid satisfying the conditions of a mock-Chebyshev grid with the complexity being . Some numerical experiments using the points obtained by this modified algorithm are given to show its effectiveness and numerical results are also provided. A bivariate generalization of the mock-Chebyshev nodes to the Padua interpolation points is discussed.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the journal is to provide a forum for the publication of high quality research and tutorial papers in computational mathematics. In addition to the traditional issues and problems in numerical analysis, the journal also publishes papers describing relevant applications in such fields as physics, fluid dynamics, engineering and other branches of applied science with a computational mathematics component. The journal strives to be flexible in the type of papers it publishes and their format. Equally desirable are:
(i) Full papers, which should be complete and relatively self-contained original contributions with an introduction that can be understood by the broad computational mathematics community. Both rigorous and heuristic styles are acceptable. Of particular interest are papers about new areas of research, in which other than strictly mathematical arguments may be important in establishing a basis for further developments.
(ii) Tutorial review papers, covering some of the important issues in Numerical Mathematics, Scientific Computing and their Applications. The journal will occasionally publish contributions which are larger than the usual format for regular papers.
(iii) Short notes, which present specific new results and techniques in a brief communication.
