This paper demonstrates that the space of piecewise smooth functions can be well approximated by the space of functions defined by a set of simple (non-linear) operations on smooth uniform splines. The examples include bivariate functions…
In this note, we present a well-known connection between the Sobolev-Slobodeckij spaces, also known as Fractional Sobolev spaces, and interpolation theory. We show how Sobolev spaces can be equivalently characterized as real and complex…
A new representation is proposed for functions in a Sobolev space with dominating mixed smoothness on an $N$-dimensional hyperrectangle. In particular, it is shown that these functions can be expressed in terms of their highest-order mixed…
