Geometric Weakly Admissible Meshes, Discrete Least Squares Approximations and Approximate Fekete PointsLen Bos, Jean-Paul Calvi, Norm Levenberg et al.
Using the concept of Geometric Weakly Admissible Meshes together with an algorithm based on the classical QR factorization of matrices, we compute efficient points for discrete multivariate least squares approximation and Lagrange interpolation.

New cubature formulae and hyperinterpolation in three variablesStefano De Marchi, Marco Vianello, Yuan Xu
A new algebraic cubature formula of degree $2n+1$ for the product Chebyshev measure in the $d$-cube with $\approx n^d/2^{d-1}$ nodes is established. The new formula is then applied to polynomial hyperinterpolation of degree $n$ in three variables, in which coefficients of the product Chebyshev orthonormal basis are computed by a fast algorithm based on the 3-dimensional FFT. Moreover, integration of the hyperinterpolant provides a new Clenshaw-Curtis type cubature formula in the 3-cube.

Caratheodory-Tchakaloff SubsamplingFederico Piazzon, Alvise Sommariva, Marco Vianello
We present a brief survey on the compression of discrete measures by Caratheodory-Tchakaloff Subsampling, its implementation by Linear or Quadratic Programming and the application to multivariate polynomial Least Squares. We also give an algorithm that computes the corresponding Caratheodory-Tchakaloff (CATCH) points and weights for polynomial spaces on compact sets and manifolds in 2D and 3D.

Trivariate polynomial approximation on Lissajous curvesLen Bos, Stefano De Marchi, Marco Vianello
We study Lissajous curves in the 3-cube, that generate algebraic cubature formulas on a special family of rank-1 Chebyshev lattices. These formulas are used to construct trivariate hyperinterpolation polynomials via a single 1-d Fast Chebyshev Transform (by the Chebfun package), and to compute discrete extremal sets of Fekete and Leja type for trivariate polynomial interpolation. Applications could arise in the framework of Lissajous sampling for MPI (Magnetic Particle Imaging).

Discrete norming inequalities on sections of sphere, ball and torusAlvise Sommariva, Marco Vianello
By discrete trigonometric norming inequalities on subintervals of the period, we construct norming meshes with optimal cardinality growth for algebraic polynomials on sections of sphere, ball and torus.

Optimal polynomial meshes and Caratheodory-Tchakaloff submeshes on the spherePaul Leopardi, Alvise Sommariva, Marco Vianello
Using the notion of Dubiner distance, we give an elementary proof of the fact that good covering point configurations on the 2-sphere are optimal polynomial meshes. From these we extract Caratheodory-Tchakaloff (CATCH) submeshes for compressed Least Squares fitting.

Bivariate Lagrange interpolation at the Padua points: the ideal theory approachLen Bos, Stefano De Marchi, Marco Vianello et al.
Padua points is a family of points on the square $[-1,1]^2$ given by explicit formulas that admits unique Lagrange interpolation by bivariate polynomials. The interpolation polynomials and cubature formulas based on the Padua points are studied from an ideal theoretic point of view, which leads to the discovery of a compact formula for the interpolation polynomials. The $L^p$ convergence of the interpolation polynomials is also studied.
