Let $ f(z)=\int(z-x)^{-1}d\mu(x) $, where $ \mu $ is a Borel measure supported on several subintervals of $ (-1,1) $ with smooth Radon-Nikodym derivative. We study strong asymptotic behavior of the error of approximation $ (f-r_n)(z) $,…

The study of inner and cyclic functions in $\ell^p_A$ spaces requires a better understanding of the zeros of the so-called optimal polynomial approximants. We determine that a point of the complex plane is the zero of an optimal polynomial…

Unlike polynomials, rational functions can represent functions having poles or branch cuts with root-exponential convergence and no Runge phenomenon. Recent developments of the AAA and greedy Thiele algorithms have sparked renewed interest…

We show that on most of the hyperbolic simply connected domains the weighted bounded rational approximation in a natural sup norm is possible only for a very sparse set of holomorphic functions (in contrast to integral approximation). The…

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…

It is a classical result in rational approximation theory that certain non-smooth or singular functions, such as $|x|$ and $x^{1/p}$, can be efficiently approximated using rational functions with root-exponential convergence in terms of…

Functions with singularities are notoriously difficult to approximate with conventional approximation schemes. In computational applications, they are often resolved with low-order piecewise polynomials, multilevel schemes, or other types…

We study AAK-type meromorphic approximants to functions $F$, where $F$ is a sum of a rational function $R$ and a Cauchy transform of a complex measure $\lambda$ with compact regular support included in $(-1,1)$, whose argument has bounded…
