Core Concepts
The Chebyshev polynomial interpolation method is a robust and efficient approach for reconstructing signals, offering advantages over the Fourier polynomial interpolation, particularly in handling unevenly distributed data points and noise.
Abstract
The report explores the Chebyshev polynomial interpolation as an alternative to the Fourier polynomial interpolation for signal reconstruction. Key highlights:
Chebyshev points exhibit unique properties that make them superior to other polynomial interpolation methods, such as the ability to absorb two parameters for interpolation and maintain symmetry around the origin.
Chebyshev interpolation demonstrates excellent performance in reconstructing signals, even with unevenly distributed data points and in the presence of noise, outperforming the Fourier polynomial interpolation.
The Chebyshev polynomials and series are investigated, including their dependency on wave numbers, representation of complex functions, conditioning of the Chebyshev basis, and the behavior of extrema and roots.
The gamma variate function is used as a case study to compare the Chebyshev and Fourier polynomial interpolations. The Chebyshev approach proves to be highly accurate for both evenly and unevenly distributed nodes, with and without noise, making it a robust choice for signal reconstruction.
The report also explores signal filtering using a moving average filter, demonstrating the effectiveness of the Chebyshev interpolation in reconstructing the original noise-free signal.
Overall, the Chebyshev polynomial interpolation emerges as a superior method for signal reconstruction, offering advantages over the Fourier polynomial interpolation in terms of handling diverse data distributions and noise.

"The Chebyshev polynomials interpolate evenly-spaced and unevenly-spaced points perfectly, particularly with clustering around −1 and 1."
"Chebyshev interpolation of the gamma variate function proves highly accurate, even when the case of unevenly distributed nodes was tried making it a reliable interpolation method for different node structures compared to Fourier polynomial interpolation which is only usable for equally spaced nodes."
