On inverse methods for the resolution of the Gibbs phenomenon

When Fourier expansions, or more generally spectral methods, are used for the representation of nonsmooth functions, then one has to face the so-called Gibbs phenomenon. Considerable progresses have been made these last years to overcome the Gibbs phenomenon, using direct or inverse approaches, both in the discrete or continuous framework. A discrete inverse method for the global or local reconstruction of a non-smooth function starting from its oscillating (trigonometric) polynomial interpolant is introduced and both its capabilities and limits are emphasized.
