Abstract: Recently, spline approximations have been proposed for the reconstruction of piecewise smooth functions from Fourier data. That approach makes possible to retrieve the functions from their Fourier coefficients for any given degree of accuracy when the discontinuity points are known. In this paper we present iterative methods based on those spline approximations, for several degrees, to find locations and amplitudes of the jumps of a piecewise smooth function, given its Fourier coefficients. We also present numerical experiments comparing with different previous approaches. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: We are concerned with the problem of recovering edges of piecewise smooth functions with finitely many jump discontinuities. In a series of papers, Gelb and Tadmor presented computationally simple methods for this task that are based on the conjugate Fourier series with different concentration kernels. In this article we present experimental results comparing conjugate series based methods with a new approach based on polynomial filters and suitable approximations. This new approach proves to be more accurate and stable. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
