We introduce a procedure for convergence acceleration of the quasi-periodic trigonometric interpolation by application of rational corrections which leads to quasi-periodic-rational trigonometric interpolation. Rational corrections contain unknown parameters whose determination is important for realization of interpolation. We investigate the pointwise convergence of the resultant interpolation for special choice of the unknown parameters and derive the exact constants of the main terms of asymptotic errors.

Trigonometric approximation or interpolation of a non-smooth function on a finite interval has poor convergence properties. This is especially true for discontinuous functions. The case of infinitely differentiable but non-periodic functions with discontinuous periodic extensions onto the real axis has attracted interest from many researchers. In a series of works, we discussed an approach based on quasi-periodic trigonometric basis functions whose periods are slightly bigger than the length of the approximation interval. We proved validness of the approach for trigonometric interpolations. In this paper, we apply those ideas to classical Fourier expansions.

We investigate the convergence of the quasi-periodic approximations in different frameworks and reveal exact asymptotic estimates of the corresponding errors. The estimates facilitate a fair comparison of the quasi-periodic approximations to other classical well-known approaches. We consider a special realization of the approximations by the inverse of the Vandermonde matrix, which makes it possible to prove the existence of the corresponding implementations, derive explicit formulas and explore convergence properties. We also show the application of polynomial corrections for the convergence acceleration of the quasi-periodic approximations. Numerical experiments reveal the auto-correction phenomenon related to the polynomial corrections so that utilization of approximate derivatives surprisingly results in better convergence compared to the expansions with the exact ones.
