Chebfun is an established software system for computing with functions of a real variable, but its capabilities for handling functions with singularities are limited. Here an analogous system is described based on sinc function expansions instead of Chebyshev series. This experiment sheds light on the strengths and weaknesses of sinc function techniques. It also serves as a review of some of th...

Six forest tree height inversion methods of polarimetric SAR interferometry were validated using repeat pass E-SAR datasets and the corresponding ground measured forest stand height. We show that SINC, three stage full model and three stage SINC inversions have good performance, and the SINC inversion with the first optimum coherence (OPT1) produces the best result among the eleven coherence ty...

The problem of digital signal and image resampling with discrete sinc interpolation is addressed. Discrete sine interpolation is theoretically the best one among the digital convolution-based signal resampling methods because it does not distort the signal as defined by its samples and is completely reversible. However, sinc interpolation is frequently not considered in applications because it ...

Sinc methods are now recognized as an efficient numerical method for problems whose solutions may have singularities, or infinite domains, or boundary layers. This work deals with the sinc-collocation method for solving linear and nonlinear system of second order differential equation. The method is then tested on linear and nonlinear examples and a comparison with B-spline method is made. It i...

BACKGROUND Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is used as a fast clinical imaging technique for monitoring the health of the human organs such as lungs, heart, brain and breast. Each practical EIT reconstruction algorithm should be efficient enough in terms of convergence rate, and accuracy. The main objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of precise empirical conductivity i...

The DE-Sinc formulas, resulting from a combination of the Sinc approximation formula with the double exponential (DE) transformation, provide a highly efficient method for function approximation. In many cases they are more efficient than the SE-Sinc formulas, which are the Sinc approximation formulas combined with the single exponential (SE) transformations. Function classes suited to the SE-S...

A fully Sinc-Galerkin method for solving advection-di usion equations subject to arbitrary radiation boundary conditions is presented. This procedure gives rise to a discretization which has it's most natural representation in the form of a Sylvester system where the coe cient matrix for the temporal discretization is full. The word \full" often implies a computationally more complex method com...
