Abstract

A piecewise Pad\'e-Chebyshev type (PiPCT) approximation method is proposed to minimize the Gibbs phenomenon in approximating piecewise smooth functions. A theorem on L1L^1-error estimate is proved for sufficiently smooth functions using a decay property of the Chebyshev coefficients. Numerical experiments are performed to show that the PiPCT method accurately captures isolated singularities of a function without using the positions and the types of singularities. Further, an adaptive partition approach to the PiPCT method is developed (referred to as the APiPCT method) to achieve the required accuracy with a lesser computational cost. Numerical experiments are performed to show some advantages of using the PiPCT and APiPCT methods compared to some well-known methods in the literature.
