Abstract

Given a \({\mathcal{C}^{2}}\) -function f on a compact riemannian manifold (X,g) we give a set of frequencies \({L=L_{f}(\varepsilon)}\) depending on a small parameter \({\varepsilon > 0}\) such that the relative L 2-error \({\frac{\|f-f^{L} \|}{\|f\|}}\) is bounded above by \({\varepsilon}\), where f L denotes the L-partial sum of the Fourier series f with respect to an orthonormal basis of L 2(X) constituted by eigenfunctions of the Laplacian operator Δ associated to the metric g.
