Shapiro's lethargy theorem states that if {A_n} is any non-trivial linear approximation scheme on a Banach space X, then the sequences of errors of best approximation E(x,A_n) = \inf_{a \in A_n} ||x - a_n||_X decay almost arbitrarily…

An approximation scheme is a family of homogeneous subsets $(A_n)$ of a quasi-Banach space $X$, such that $A_1 \subsetneq A_2 \subsetneq ... \subsetneq X$, $A_n + A_n \subset A_{K(n)}$, and $\bar{\cup_n A_n} = X$. Continuing the line of…

This paper contains two improvements on a theorem of S. N. Bernstein for Banach spaces. We show that if $X$ is an arbitrary infinite-dimensional Banach space, $\{Y_n\}$ is a sequence of strictly nested subspaces of $ X$ and if $\{d_n\}$ is…

Given an operator ideal I, a Banach space E has the I-approximation property if operators on E can be uniformly approximated on compact subsets of E by operators belonging to I. In this paper the I- approximation property is studied in…

We consider finite element approximations of ill-posed elliptic problems with conditional stability. The notion of {\emph{optimal error estimates}} is defined including both convergence with respect to mesh parameter and perturbations in…

In this paper we consider Bernstein's Lethargy Theorem (BLT) in the context of Fr\'{e}chet spaces. Let $X$ be an infinite-dimensional Fr\'echet space and let $\mathcal{V}=\{V_n\}$ be a nested sequence of subspaces of $ X$ such that $…

Let (e_i) be a dictionary for a separable Banach space X. We consider the problem of approximation by linear combinations of dictionary elements with quantized coefficients drawn usually from a `finite alphabet'. We investigate several…

We study the relation between the linear stability of almost-symmetries and the geometry of the Banach spaces on which these transformations are defined. We show that any transformation between finite dimensional Banach spaces that…

Answering one problem that has its origins in quantum mechanics, we prove that for any sequence $(A_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}$ of convex nowhere dense sets in a Banach space $X$ and any sequence $(\varepsilon_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ of positive real…

Let $X$ be a Banach space and suppose $Y\subseteq X$ is a Banach space compactly embedded into $X$, and $(a_k)$ is a weakly null sequence of functionals in $X^*$. Then there exists a sequence $\{\varepsilon_n\} \searrow 0$ such that…

The Shannon sampling theorem for bandlimited wide sense stationary random processes was established in 1957, which and its extensions to various random processes have been widely studied since then. However, truncation of the Shannon series…

We study approximation in the unit interval by rational numbers whose numerators are selected randomly with certain probabilities. Previous work showed that an analogue of Khintchine's Theorem holds in a similar random model and raised the…

Reliable data-driven estimation of Shannon entropy from small data sets, where the number of examples is potentially smaller than the number of possible outcomes, is a critical matter in several applications. In this paper, we introduce a…

The idea of best approximation in linear n-normed space is presented and some examples showing various possibilities of best approximations in linear n-normed space is given. Also, we study strictly convex n-norm and enquire about the…

In this paper, we examine the aptly-named "Lethargy Theorem" of Bernstein and survey its recent extensions. We show that one of these extensions shrinks the interval for best approximation by half while the other gives a surprising…

In this paper, we consider a condition on subspaces in order to improve bounds given in the Bernstein's Lethargy Theorem (BLT) for Banach spaces. Let $d_1 \geq d_2 \geq \dots d_n \geq \dots > 0$ be an infinite sequence of numbers converging…

The proximinality of certain subspaces of spaces of bounded affine functions is proved. The results presented here are some linear versions of an old result due to Mazur. For the proofs we use some sandwich theorems of Fenchel's duality…

We study a parabolic system with $p(t,x)$-structure under Dirichlet boundary conditions. In particular, we deduce the optimal convergence rate for the error of the gradient of a finite element based space-time approximation. The error is…

It is folklore that the sum of two $M$-ideals (semi $M$-ideals) is also an $M$-ideal (a semi $M$-ideal). Numerous authors have attempted to investigate such properties of subspaces. This article explores two important facets of…

For the space of functions that can be approximated by linear chirps, we prove a reconstruction theorem by random sampling at arbitrary rates.
