TL;DR
The paper tackles high-order periodic function approximation on $\mathbb{T}^d$ via quasi-interpolation using radial kernels. It develops a tensor-product kernel by restricting generalized Gaussian kernels to circles, proving the restricted kernel preserves the periodic Strang-Fix order and yields $O(N^{-s})$ convergence in Wiener spaces; it then extends to high dimensions with a sparse-grid variant to mitigate the curse of dimensionality. The main contributions are the construction of $\psi_{2m+2}$ with PSF order $2m+2$, the rigorous error bounds for the torus quasi-interpolant, and numerical demonstrations of accuracy and efficiency. This approach provides a simple, scalable alternative for high-accuracy periodic approximation on tori with potential broad applications in multidimensional signal processing and approximation theory.
Abstract
The paper proposes a novel and efficient quasi-interpolation scheme with high approximation order for periodic function approximation over tori. The resulting quasi-interpolation takes the form of Schoenberg's tensor-product generalized Gaussian kernels restricted over circles. Notably, theoretical analysis shows that it achieves the highest approximation order equal to the order of the generalized Strang-Fix condition satisfied by the generalized Gaussian kernels. This is in sharp contrast to classical quasi-interpolation counterparts, which often provide much lower approximation orders than those dictated by the generalized Strang-Fix conditions satisfied by the kernels. Furthermore, we construct a sparse grid counterpart for high-dimensional periodic function approximation to alleviate the curse of dimensionality. Numerical simulations provided at the end of the paper demonstrate that our quasi-interpolation scheme is simple and computationally efficient.
