The Minimum Norm of a Projector under Linear Interpolation on a Euclidean Ball

Abstract: We prove the following proposition. Under linear interpolation on a Euclidean

n

-dimensional ball

B

, an interpolation projector whose nodes coincide with the vertices of a regular simplex inscribed into the boundary sphere has the minimum

C

-norm. This minimum norm

h e t a_{n} (B)

is equal to

m a x p s i (a_{n}), p s i (a_{n} + 1)

, where

p s i (t) = d f r a c 2 s q r t n n + 1 B i g l (t (n + 1 - t) B i g r)^{1 / 2} + l e f t | 1 - d f r a c 2 t n + 1 i g h t |

,

0 l e q t l e q n + 1

, and

a_{n} = l e f t l f l o o r d f r a c n + 1 2 - d f r a c s q r t n + 1 2 i g h t f l o o r

. For any

n

,

s q r t n l e q h e t a_{n} (B) l e q s q r t n + 1 .

Moreover,

h e t a_{n} (B)

=

s q r t n

only for

n = 1

and

h e t a_{n} (B) = s q r t n + 1

if and only if

s q r t n + 1

is an integer.
