POLYNOMIALS VERSUS SING SERIES 267 n-is the best possible for polynomials, and has prompted a search for alternatives. The successful options use a series of terms which are transcendental functions of x. Stenger [l] showed that it is possible to create an approximation through a three-step procedure whose error decreases exponentially rather than algebraically. The first step is to transform the interval x E [-1, 11 to y E [-co, cc] through the mapping x= tanh (ky)(3) where k is an arbitrary scale factor. The second step is to choose a grid spacing h and then approximate f (y [x]) through the “sine expansion” or “Whittaker cardinal” approximation, which is f (y)= ff (3) sine (CY-31/h); YE [--co, 001,=--co where the “sin? function is defined by sine (z) 5 sin (7rz)/(rcz).(5)The final step is to truncate the infinite series in (4) so that we sum over a finite number of grid points N. Stenger [l] goes on to show that the sine expansion can be used to solve differential and integral equations, but for simplicity, we will assume f (x [y]) is a known function.
