Abstract

A fast multilevel algorithm (MuST) for evaluating an $n$-sample sinc interpolant at $mn$ points is presented. For uniform grids, its complexity is $25mn\log(1/\delta)$ flops for the sinc kernel and $75mn\log(1/\delta)$ for the sincd kernel, where $\delta$ is the target evaluation accuracy. MuST is faster than FFT- and FMM-based evaluations for large $n$ and/or for large $\delta$. It is also applicable to nonuniform grids and to other kernels. Numerical experiments demonstrating the algorithm's practicality are presented.
