Is Saturability by Smoothness a Property of Interpolating Functions?

  • Thread starter Tolya
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation discusses the inaccuracy of piecewise-polynomial interpolation and how it relates to the smoothness of a function. The order of inaccuracy is O(h^{s+1}) when the function has a limited derivative of order s+1, and O(h^{q+1}) when the derivative is limited to an order q < s. This property is referred to as saturability by smoothness and can be proven using references such as books or links.

Sorry for my English. :)
Let function [tex]f(x)[/tex] defined on [tex][a,b][/tex] and its table [tex]f(x_k)[/tex] determined in equidistant interpolation nodes [tex]x_k[/tex] [tex]k=0,1,..,n[/tex] with step [tex]h=\frac{b-a}{n}[/tex].
Inaccuracy of piecewise-polynomial interpolation of power [tex]s[/tex] (with the help of interpolation polynoms [tex]P_s(x,f_{kj})[/tex] on the [tex]x_k \leq x \leq x_{k+1}[/tex]) when [tex]f^{(s+1)}(x)[/tex] exist and limited on [tex][a,b][/tex] have a [tex]O(h^{s+1})[/tex] order.
If all we know about function [tex]f(x)[/tex] is that it has limited derivative to some order [tex]q[/tex] [tex]q<s[/tex], then unavoidable error when we reconstructed the function with the help of its table is [tex]O(h^{q+1})[/tex]. If we interpolate with [tex]P_s(x,f_{kj})[/tex] the order [tex]O(h^{q+1})[/tex] reached.
When [tex]f(x)[/tex] have limited derivative of the order [tex]q+1[/tex], [tex]q>s[/tex], then inaccuracy of interpolation with the help of [tex]P_s(x,f_{kj})[/tex] remains [tex]O(h^{q+1})[/tex], i.e. the order of inaccuracy doesn't react on the supplemented, beyond the [tex]s+1[/tex] derivative, smoothness of the function [tex]f(x)[/tex].
How can I prove this property called saturability by smoothness.
Thanks for any ideas!

Related to Is Saturability by Smoothness a Property of Interpolating Functions?

What is "Saturability by smoothness"?

"Saturability by smoothness" refers to the property of a substance or material to become saturated or filled to capacity when exposed to a smooth surface. This can affect the behavior and interactions of the substance and its ability to absorb or release other substances.

How does "Saturability by smoothness" impact scientific research?

Understanding the saturability by smoothness of a substance is crucial in various scientific fields, such as chemistry, materials science, and engineering. It can influence the effectiveness of coatings, adhesives, and other surface treatments, and help predict the behavior of substances in different environments.

What factors affect the saturability by smoothness of a substance?

The saturability by smoothness of a substance can be influenced by several factors, including its physical and chemical properties, the nature of the smooth surface it is exposed to, and the environmental conditions such as temperature and pressure.

Can the saturability by smoothness of a substance be controlled?

In some cases, the saturability by smoothness of a substance can be controlled or modified through various methods such as surface treatments, chemical modifications, or changes in environmental conditions. However, it ultimately depends on the specific properties and characteristics of the substance.

How is the saturability by smoothness of a substance measured?

The saturability by smoothness of a substance can be measured using various techniques such as contact angle measurements, surface energy analysis, and surface tension measurements. These methods can provide information about the behavior and interactions of the substance with a smooth surface.
