In some applications, one is interested in reconstructing a function $f$ from its Fourier series coefficients. The problem is that the Fourier series is slowly convergent if the function is non-periodic, or is non-smooth. In this paper, we…

We present a procedure to approximate a plane contour by piecewise polynomial functions, depending on various parameters, such as degree, number of local patches, selection of knots. This procedure aims to be adopted to study how…

One of the basic principles of Approximation Theory is that the quality of approximations increase with the smoothness of the function to be approximated. Functions that are smooth in certain subdomains will have good approximations in…
We describe a method for approximating a single-variable function $f$ using persistence diagrams of sublevel sets of $f$ from height functions in different directions. We provide algorithms for the piecewise linear case and for the smooth…

BV functions cannot be approximated well by piecewise constant functions, but this work will show that a good approximation is still possible with (countably) piecewise affine functions. In particular, this approximation is area-strictly…
In this paper we deal with the task of uniformly approximating an $L$-biLipschitz curve by means of piecewise linear ones. This is rather simple if one is satisfied to have approximating functions which are $L'$-biLipschitz, for instance…
