Title: Pseudo spectral Chebyshev representation of few-group cross sections on sparse grids

Abstract

This paper presents a pseudo spectral method for representing few-group homogenised cross sections, based on hierarchical polynomial interpolation. The interpolation is performed on a multi-dimensional sparse grid built from Chebyshev nodes. The representation is assembled directly from the samples using basis functions that are constructed as tensor products of the classical one-dimensional Lagrangian interpolation functions. The advantage of this representation is that it combines the accuracy of Chebyshev interpolation with the efficiency of sparse grid methods. As an initial test, this interpolation method was used to construct a representation for the two-group macroscopic cross sections of a VVER pin cell. (authors)
