Convergence analysis of the generalized empirical interpolation method

Abstract: Let F be a compact set of a Banach space mathcalX. This paper analyses the "Generalized Empirical Interpolation Method" (GEIM) which, given a function finF, builds an interpolant mathcalJn[f] in an n-dimensional subspace XnsubsetmathcalX with the knowledge of n outputs (sigmai(f))i=1n, where sigmaiinmathcalX′ and mathcalX′ is the dual space of mathcalX. The space Xn is built with a greedy algorithm that is adapted to F in the sense that it is generated by elements of F itself. The algorithm also selects the linear functionals (sigmai)i=1n from a dictionary SigmasubsetmathcalX′. In this paper, we study the interpolation error maxfinFVertf−mathcalJn[f]VertmathcalX by comparing it with the best possible performance on an n-dimensional space, i.e., the Kolmogorov n-width of F in mathcalX, dn(F,mathcalX). For polynomial or exponential decay rates of dn(F,mathcalX), we prove that the interpolation error has the same behavior modulo the norm of the interpolation operator. Sharper results are obtained in the case where mathcalX is a Hilbert space.


Using an adaptive greedy algorithm, interpolation schemes are studied to approximate functions from a Banach space \(\mathcal X\) (later-on also for a Hilbert space, where improved error estimates are found), where the approximand is restricted to a compact subset \(F\) and the approximant is from an \(n\)-dimensional subspace of \(\mathcal X\). That subspaces adapts itself to \(F\) and is constructed by a greedy method. The interpolation errors are estimated in particular by relating them to the error of the best approximation, the \(n\)-width. Up to an increased error due to the operator norm of the approximation, these errors in the actual approximation algorithm are shown to be asymptotically the same as the \(n\)-width so long as it has polynomial or exponential decay. The implementations of the methods are discussed too.
