Abstract

In this paper we derive error estimates for two filters based on piecewise polynomial interpolations of zeroth and first degrees. For a piecewise smooth function f(x) in [0,1], we show that, if all the discontinuity points of f(x) are nodes then, using these filters, we can reconstruct point values of f(x) accurately even near discontinuity points. If f(x) is a piecewise constant or a linear function, the reconstruction formulas are exact. We also propose reconstruction formulas such that we can compute the (approximate ) point values of f(x) using the fast Fourier transform, even when using non-uniform meshes. Several numerical experiments are also provided to illustrate the results.
