Abstract: In contrast to odd-length trigonometric interpolants, even-length trigonometric interpolants need not be unique; this is apparent from the representation of the interpolant in the (real or complex) Fourier basis, which possesses an extra degree of freedom in the choice of the highest-order basis function in the even case. One can eliminate this degree of freedom by imposing a constraint, but then the interpolant may cease to exist for certain choices of the interpolation points. On the other hand, the Lagrange representation developed by Gauss always produces an interpolant despite having no free parameters. We discuss the choice Gauss's formula makes for the extra degree of freedom and show that, when the points are equispaced, its choice is optimal in the sense that it minimizes both the standard and 2-norm Lebesgue constants for the interpolation problem. For non-equispaced points, we give numerical evidence that Gauss's formula is no longer optimal and consider interpolants of minimal 2-norm instead. We show how to modify Gauss's formula to produce a minimal-norm interpolant and that, if the points are equispaced, no modification is necessary.

Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis (ETNA) is an electronic journal for the publication of significant new developments in numerical analysis and scientific computing. Papers of the highest quality that deal with the analysis of algorithms for the solution of continuous models and numerical linear algebra are appropriate for ETNA, as are papers of similar quality that discuss implementation and performance of such algorithms. New algorithms for current or new computer architectures are appropriate provided that they are numerically sound. However, the focus of the publication should be on the algorithm rather than on the architecture. The journal is published by the Kent State University Library in conjunction with the Institute of Computational Mathematics at Kent State University, and in cooperation with the Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (RICAM). Reviews of all ETNA papers appear in Mathematical Reviews and Zentralblatt für Mathematik. Reference information for ETNA papers also appears in the expanded Science Citation Index. ETNA is registered with the Library of Congress and has ISSN 1068-9613. …
