Quasi-Monte Carlo integration on manifolds with mapped low-discrepancy points and greedy minimal Riesz s-energy points

De Marchi, Stefano ; Elefante, Giacomo

In: Applied Numerical Mathematics, 2018, vol. 127, p. 110–124

In this paper we consider two sets of points for Quasi-Monte Carlo integration on two- dimensional manifolds. The first is the set of mapped low-discrepancy sequence by a measure preserving map, from a rectangle U⊂R2 to the manifold. The second is the greedy minimal Riesz s-energy points extracted from a suitable discretization of the manifold. Thanks to the Poppy-seed Bagel Theorem we know...

Barycentric rational interpolation at quasi-equidistant nodes

Hormann, Kai ; Klein, Georges ; De Marchi, Stefano

In: Dolomites Research Notes on Approximation, 2012, vol. 5, no. 1, p. 1-6

A collection of recent papers reveals that linear barycentric rational interpolation with the weights suggested by Floater and Hormann is a good choice for approximating smooth functions, especially when the interpolation nodes are equidistant. In the latter setting, the Lebesgue constant of this rational interpolation process is known to grow only logarithmically with the number of nodes....

On the Lebesgue constant of barycentric rational interpolation at equidistant nodes

Bos, Len ; De Marchi, Stefano ; Hormann, Kai ; Klein, Georges

In: Numerische Mathematik, 2012, vol. 121, p. 461–471

Recent results reveal that the family of barycentric rational interpolants introduced by Floater and Hormann is very well-suited for the approximation of functions as well as their derivatives, integrals and primitives. Especially in the case of equidistant interpolation nodes, these infinitely smooth interpolants offer a much better choice than their polynomial analogue. A natural and important...
