In this paper, we prove a quantitative approximation result by orthonormal polynomials associated to an exponential weight of the form e -$\Phi$ , where $\Phi$ is an even polynomial with positive leading coefficient. This result is a…
We survey the main results of approximation theory for adaptive piecewise polynomial functions. In such methods, the partition on which the piecewise polynomial approximation is defined is not fixed in advance, but adapted to the given…
In this paper, exact rate of approximation of functions by linear means of Fourier series and Fourier integrals and corresponding $K$-functionals are expressed via special moduli of smoothness. . Introduction is given in $\S 1$. In $\S2$…
This is a survey on best polynomial approximation on the unit sphere and the unit ball. The central problem is to describe the approximation behavior of a function by polynomials via smoothness of the function. A major effort is to identify…
It is natural to expect the following loosely stated approximation principle to hold: a numerical approximation solution should be in some sense as smooth as its target exact solution in order to have optimal convergence. For piecewise…

For each $q\in{\mathbb{N}}_0$, we construct positive linear polynomial approximation operators $M_n$ that simultaneously preserve $k$-monotonicity for all $0\leq k\leq q$ and yield the estimate \[ |f(x)-M_n(f, x)| \leq c…
Because of the high approximation power and simplicity of computation of smooth radial basis functions (RBFs), in recent decades they have received much attention for function approximation. These RBFs contain a shape parameter that…
We prove various theorems on approximation using polynomials with integer coefficients in the Bernstein basis of any given order. In the extreme, we draw the coefficients from $\{ \pm 1\}$ only. A basic case of our results states that for…
The polynomial affine model of gravity was proposed as an alternative to metric and metric-affine gravitational models. What at the beginning was thought as a source of unpredictability, the presence of many terms in the action, turned out…
When implementing regular enough functions (e.g., elementary or special functions) on a computing system, we frequently use polynomial approximations. In most cases, the polynomial that best approximates (for a given distance and in a given…
Numerical solutions of differential equations are usually not smooth functions. However, they should resemble the smoothness of the corresponding real solutions in one way or another. In two of our recent papers, a kind of spacial…

We survey developments, over the last thirty years, in the theory of Shape Preserving Approximation (SPA) by algebraic polynomials on a finite interval. In this article, "shape" refers to (finitely many changes of) monotonicity, convexity,…
We prove that several forms of the Bernstein polynomials with integer coefficients possess the property of simultaneous approximation, that is, they approximate not only the function but also its derivatives. We establish direct estimates…
The paper explores connection between the order and the type of an entire function and the speed of the best polynomial approximation in the unit disk. The relations which define the order and the type of an entire function through the…
We study the polynomial approximation of symmetric multivariate functions and of multi-set functions. Specifically, we consider $f(x_1, \dots, x_N)$, where $x_i \in \mathbb{R}^d$, and $f$ is invariant under permutations of its $N$…
