Construction Techniques for Highly Accurate Quasi-Interpolation Operators Original Research Article

Under mild additional assumptions this paper constructs quasi-interpolants in the form fh(x)=∑j=−∞+∞ f(hj) ϕh (xh−j), x∈R, h>0, ((0.1))with approximation order ℓ−1, whereϕh(x) is a linear combination of translatesψ(x−jh) of a functionψinCℓ(R). Thus the order of convergence of such operators can be pushed up to a limit that only depends on the smoothness of the functionψ. This approach can be generalized to the multivariate setting by using discrete convolutions with tensor products of odd-degreeB-splines.
