Treating the Gibbs phenomenon in barycentric rational interpolation and approximation via the S-Gibbs algorithm (Q2184976)

A very successful approach in interpolation and approximation theory is the method of mapped bases and fake notes for polynomial interpolation. Its principal advantages are the taming of the Gibb's phenomenon and creating more stable approximants; the idea is to combine an approximation method with a precursory mapping of the interpolation points by other functions to improved locations. The locations may of course depend on our particular numerical problem, but typically there could be denser points towards to boundary or singularities (stemming from originally equally spaced points). This can be viewed as either creating new, different nodes, or as mapping the (polynomial) bases. In this paper, this idea is combined -- for the same purposes -- with rational approximation methods. An especially challenging task is the approximation of discontinuous functions by any type of interpolation method, and in the article, this is successfully done by the combination of these two ideas.
