Discrete Transforms and Orthogonal Polynomials of (Anti)Symmetric Multivariate Cosine Functions

Abstract

The discrete cosine transforms of types V--VIII are generalized to the antisymmetric and symmetric multivariate discrete cosine transforms. Four families of discretely and continuously orthogonal Chebyshev-like polynomials corresponding to the antisymmetric and symmetric generalizations of cosine functions are introduced. Each family forms an orthogonal basis of the space of all polynomials with respect to some weighted integral. Cubature formulas, which correspond to these families of polynomials and which stem from the developed discrete cosine transforms, are derived. Examples of three-dimensional interpolation formulas and three-dimensional explicit forms of the polynomials are presented.
