TL;DR
This work introduces a single, shifted rank‑1 lattice reconstruction framework for approximating smooth periodic functions in weighted Korobov spaces. By partitioning the Fourier index set into fibers and solving small least‑squares problems using multiple shifts per fiber, the method mitigates aliasing without resorting to multiple lattices, while preserving lattice simplicity. The authors prove optimal deterministic $L_{\infty}$ convergence $\mathcal{O}(N^{-\alpha+1/2+\varepsilon})$ and, with randomized shifts, optimal $L_2$ convergence $\mathcal{O}(N^{-\alpha+\varepsilon})$, supported by rigorous error analyses. They also establish existence and practical construction of suitable generating vectors and shifts, and provide numerical experiments that corroborate the theoretical guarantees and demonstrate aliasing reduction and accurate approximation. The results offer a scalable, provably optimal approach for high‑dimensional function approximation in Korobov spaces with applications to sampling and reconstruction in numerical analysis.
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for function approximation in a weighted Korobov space based on shifted rank-1 lattice rules. To mitigate aliasing errors inherent in lattice-based Fourier coefficient estimation, we employ $\mathcal{O}((\log N)^{d} )$ good shifts and recover each Fourier coefficient via a least-squares procedure. We show that the resulting approximation achieves the optimal convergence rate for the $L_{\infty}$-approximation error in the worst-case setting, namely $\mathcal{O}(N^{-α+1/2+\varepsilon})$ for arbitrarily small $\varepsilon>0$. Moreover, by incorporating random shifts, the algorithm attains the optimal rate for the $L_{2}$-approximation error in the randomized setting, which is $\mathcal{O}(N^{-α+\varepsilon})$. Numerical experiments are presented to support the theoretical results.
