Approximating planar rotations

From MaRDI portal





For each rotation angle \(\theta\) in a fixed set, let \(\alpha : \mathbb{R}^2\to \mathbb{R}^2\) be given by \(\alpha (x,y) := (x\cos \theta + y \sin \theta , y \cos \theta - x \sin \theta)\). Further, consider the class \({\mathcal B}\) of bijections \(\beta\) on the integer lattice \(\mathbb{Z}^2\). The authors define a scheme \({\mathcal S}\) to be a function that associates a \(\beta \in {\mathcal B}\) to every planar rotation \(\alpha\). Then they seek for schemes \({\mathcal S}\) whose error \(E({\mathcal S})\) is as low as possible, where \[ E({\mathcal S}):= \sup\limits_{\alpha} \{ \sup\limits_{z \in Z^2} \{ \mid S(\alpha)(z)-\alpha (\mathbb{Z})\mid \}\}. \] They estimates this error for a particular scheme.
