On an asymptotic analysis of polynomial approximation to halfband filters

In this paper we provide information about the asymptotic properties of polynomial filters which approximate the ideal filter. In particular, we study this problem in the special case of polynomial halfband filters. Specifically we estimate the error between a polynomial filter and an ideal filter and show that the error decays exponentially fast. For the special case of polynomial halfband filters, our n-th root asymptotic error estimates are sharp.
