An orthonormalization procedure for multivariable function approximation

Where a function of several variables is given numerically in tabular form, an orthonormalization technique allows an approximation of the numerical data to be determined in a convenient functional form. In this technique, the speed and accuracy of coefficient computation are much improved.

Numerical Evaluation by Harmonic Analysis of the (Epsilon)-Function of the Theodorsen Arbitrary-Airfoil Potential Theory

Finite trigonometric series is fitted by harmonic analysis as an approximation function to the psi function of the Theodorsen arbitrary-airfoil potential theory. By harmonic synthesis, the corresponding conjugate trigonometric series is used as an approximation to the epsilon function. A set of coefficients of particularly simple form is obtained algebraically for direct calculation of the epsilon values from the corresponding set of psi values. Complete derivation of this process is presented.
