Refinement of the theory and convergence of the Sinc convolution (2507.12406v1)

Abstract: The Sinc convolution is an approximate formula for indefinite convolutions proposed by F. Stenger. The formula was derived based on the Sinc indefinite integration formula combined with the single-exponential transformation. Although its efficiency has been confirmed in variety of areas, there remain some open problems in its theory. The first contribution of this study is to resolve those problems by refinement of the theory of the Sinc convolution. This contribution includes a partial resolution of Stenger's conjecture. The second contribution of this study is to improve the convergence rate by replacement of the single-exponential transformation with the double-exponential transformation. In both theoretical and numerical ways, this study also shows that the convergence rate of the new formula is improved compared to Stenger's formula.
