Polynomial interpolation of function averages on interval segments

From MaRDI portal





Let \(f:\,[-1,\,1] \to \mathbb R\) be an essentially bounded function with given integral data \N\[\N\mu_j = \int_{\alpha_j}^{\beta_j} f(x)\,{\mathrm d}x\,, \quad j = 1,\ldots,r\,, \N\]\Nwhere \(-1 \leq \alpha_j < \beta_j \leq1\). For three special classes of segments \([\alpha_j,\,\beta_j]\) (namely chains of segments, segments with uniform arc-length, and segments with identical left endpoints), the authors consider the following interpolation problem: Determine a polynomial \(p_{r-1}(x)\) of degree \(r-1\) such that \N\[\N\int_{\alpha_j}^{\beta_j} p_{r-1}(x)\,{\mathrm d}x = \mu_j\,, \quad j = 1,\ldots,r\,. \N\]\NThe authors analyze the existence, uniqueness, and numerical conditioning of solutions of these interpolation problems. To study the numerical conditioning, concrete bounds for the Lebesgue constant for the interpolation on segments are provided.
