Abstract

In this article we clarify some fundamental questions on the resolution power of a modified spectral Chebyshev method proposed by Kosloff and Tal-Ezer and state approximation properties of general mappings of Chebyshev points. We develop a technique based on the method of the stationary phase which provides a straightforward way to determine the spatial resolution power of the Chebyshev method with mappings. In particular, we prove a conjecture about the resolution power of the Kosloff–Tal-Ezer mapping, yielding, as a corollary, a rigorous demonstration that a minimum of π polynomials per wavelength are needed in the original Chebyshev method, a well known fact which has been only heuristically demonstrated in the past literature.
