Our objective is to calculate the derivatives of data corrupted by noise. This is a challenging task as even small amounts of noise can result in significant errors in the computation. This is mainly due to the randomness of the noise, which can result in high-frequency fluctuations. To overcome this challenge, we suggest an approach that involves approximating the data by eliminating high-frequency terms from the Fourier expansion of the given data with respect to the polynomial-exponential basis. This truncation method helps to regularize the issue, while the use of the polynomial-exponential basis ensures accuracy in the computation. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach through numerical examples in one and two dimensions.
