Approximation error for quasi-interpolators and (multi-)wavelet expansions

From MaRDI portal





This paper investigates the approximation properties of general polynomials preserving operators that approximate a function into some scaled subspace of \(L^2\) via an appropriate sequence of inner products. In particular, the authors consider integer shift-invariant approximations such as those provided by splines and wavelets, as well as finite elements and multiwavelets which use multiple generators. They estimate the approximation eror as a function of the scale parameter \(T\) when the function to approximate is sufficiently regular. They also present a generalized sampling theorem, a result that is rich enough to provide tight bounds as well as asymptotic expansions of the approximation error as a function of the sampling step \(T\). Another more theoretical consequence is the proof of a conjecture by Strang and Fix, which states the equivalence between the order of a multiwavelet space and the order of a particular subspace generated by a single function. Finally, they consider refinable generating functions and use the two--scale relation to obtain explicit formulae for the coefficients of the asymptotic development of the error. The leading constants are easily computable and can be the basis for the comparison of the approximation power of wavelet and multiwavelet expansions of a given order \(L\).
