A new fast algorithm for computing the mock-Chebyshev nodes

From MaRDI portal





Mock-Chebyshev points on an interval is a set of points asymptotically distributed like the Chebyshev weight of the first kind and therefore are better suited for polynomial interpolation since they result in a smaller Lebesgue constant. In a previous paper, [J. Comput. Appl. Math. 373, Article ID 112336, 9 p. (2020; Zbl 1436.41002)], the author has presented a fast \(O(n)\) algorithm to generate \(n+1\) such points. The algorithm is based on exploiting the ratio between successive distances between the points. In this paper a modification to estimate this ratio is proposed and its properties, including the associated Lebesgue constant, are analysed.\N\NIt results in a subset close to Chebyshev-Lobatto points taken from a sufficiently large set of equidistant points. The result is a stable and fast \(O(n)\) algorithm like the previous version. A review of other methods to generate mock-Chebyshev points is included and the methods are compared in the numerical simulations.\N\NAlso the bivariate case is briefly considered to compute mock-Padua points.
