Abstract

When Fourier expansions, or more generally spectral methods, are used for the representation of nonsmooth functions, then one has to face the so-called Gibbs phenomenon. Considerable progresses have been made these last years to overcome the Gibbs phenomenon, using direct or inverse approaches, both in the discrete or continuous framework. A discrete inverse method for the global or local reconstruction of a non-smooth function starting from its oscillating (trigonometric) polynomial interpolant is introduced and both its capabilities and limits are emphasized.
