Summary: | This paper is devoted to introducing a nonlinear reconstruction operator, the piecewise polynomial harmonic (PPH), on nonuniform grids. We define this operator and we study its main properties, such as its reproduction of second-degree polynomials, approximation order, and conditions for convexity preservation. In particular, for <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>σ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula> quasi-uniform grids with <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>σ</mi><mo>≤</mo><mn>4</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>, we get a quasi <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msup><mi>C</mi><mn>3</mn></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula> reconstruction that maintains the convexity properties of the initial data. We give some numerical experiments regarding the approximation order and the convexity preservation.
