Fast Leja points (Q1279543): Difference between revisions

Leja points are used in polynomial interpolation, approximation, and eigenvalue computation. The computation of Leja points requires the maximization of a sequence of products over a compact set, and there computations can be quite cumbersome when the number of Leja points generated is large. The authors introduce a new set of points, referred to as ``fast Leja points'', which are simpler and faster to compute than Leja points. Several numerical examples are given.
