We study multivariate $L_2$-approximation for a weighted Korobov space of analytic periodic functions for which the Fourier coefficients decay exponentially fast. The weights are defined, in particular, in terms of two sequences…

Lasserre [La] proved that for every compact set $K\subset\mathbb R^n$ and every even number $d$ there exists a unique homogeneous polynomial $g_0$ of degree $d$ with $K\subset G_1(g_0)=\{x\in\mathbb R^n:g_0(x)\leq 1\}$ minimizing $|G_1(g)|$…

In computational practice, most attention is paid to rational approximations of functions and approximations by the sum of exponents. We consider a wide enough class of nonlinear approximations characterized by a set of two required…

Rational best approximations (in a Chebyshev sense) to real functions are characterized by an equioscillating approximation error. Similar results do not hold true for rational best approximations to complex functions in general. In the…

We study the polynomial approximation problem in $L^2(\mu_1)$ where $\mu_1(dx) = e^{-|x|}/2 dx$. We show that for any absolutely continuous function $f$, $$ \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \log^2(e+k) \langle f, P_k \rangle^2 \ \leq C \left(…

The $(u,v)$-Pad\'e approximation to a function $f$ is the (unique, up to scaling) rational approximation $f(x) = P(x)/Q(x) + O(x^{u+v+1})$, where $P$ has degree $u$ and $Q$ has degree $v$. Motivated by recent work of Molin, Pazuki, and…

We shall consider a result of Fel'dman, where a sharp Baker-type lower bound is obtained for linear forms in the values of some E-functions. Fel'dman's proof is based on an explicit construction of Pad\'e approximations of the first kind…

We establish best possible pointwise (up to a constant multiple) estimates for approximation, on a finite interval, by polynomials that satisfy finitely many (Hermite) interpolation conditions, and show that these estimates cannot be…

This paper presents a comprehensive study of a class of functions which approximate 1/|x| for large x but which are finite at the origin. These functions arise naturally in the study of atoms in strong magnetic fields where the so-called…

This article is about both approximation theory and the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). First we introduce the notion of {\em reciprocal-log} or {\em log-lightning approximation} of analytic functions with…

We present efficient approximation of the error function obtained by Fourier expansion of the exponential function $\exp [{- {(t - 2 \sigma)^2}/4}]$. The error analysis reveals that it is highly accurate and can generate numbers that match…

We study the bilinear Hilbert transform and bilinear maximal functions associated to polynomial curves and obtain uniform $L^r$ estimates for $r>\frac{d-1}{d}$ and this index is sharp up to the end point.

Recently, it was observed that solutions of a large class of highly oscillatory second order linear ordinary differential equations can be approximated using nonoscillatory phase functions. In particular, under mild assumptions on the…

For functions from the set of generalized Poisson integrals $C^{\alpha,r}_{\beta}L_{p}$, $1\leq p <\infty$, we obtain upper estimates for the deviations of Fourier sums in the uniform metric in terms of the best approximations of the…

We comment on recent results in the field of information based complexity, which state (in a number of different settings), that approximation of infinitely differentiable functions is intractable and suffers from the curse of…

In the first part we have shown that, for $L_2$-approximation of functions from a separable Hilbert space in the worst-case setting, linear algorithms based on function values are almost as powerful as arbitrary linear algorithms if the…

We show that in finite-dimensional nonlinear approximations, the best $r$-term approximant of a function $f$ almost always exists over $\mathbb{C}$ but that the same is not true over $\mathbb{R}$, i.e., the infimum $\inf_{f_1,\dots,f_r \in…

We consider the problem of finding the best harmonic or analytic approximant to a given function. We discuss when the best approximant is unique, and what regularity properties the best approximant inherits from the original function. All…

We establish asymptotic estimates for the least upper bounds of approximations in the uniform metric by Fourier sums of order $n-1$ of classes of $2\pi$-periodic Weyl--Nagy differentiable functions, $W^r_{\beta,p}, 1\le p\le \infty,…

Let $E= A - iB$ be a Hermite-Biehler entire function of exponential type $\tau/2$ where $A$ and $B$ are real entire, and consider $d\mu(x) = dx/|E(x)|^2$. We show that the sign of the product $A B$ is an extremal signature for the space of…
