We give necessary and sufficient criteria for a distribution to be smooth or uniformly H\"{o}lder continuous in terms of approximation sequences by smooth functions; in particular, in terms of those arising as regularizations…

A generalized polymorphism of a predicate $P \subseteq \{0,1\}^m$ is a tuple of functions $f_1,\dots,f_m\colon \{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}$ satisfying the following property: If $x^{(1)},\dots,x^{(m)} \in \{0,1\}^n$ are such that…

This paper considers the minimization problem of relaxed submodular functions. For a positive integer $k$, a set function is called $k$-distant submodular if the submodular inequality holds for every pair whose symmetric difference is at…

Stein's method for Gaussian process approximation can be used to bound the differences between the expectations of smooth functionals $h$ of a c\`adl\`ag random process $X$ of interest and the expectations of the same functionals of a well…

We introduce the notion of approximate smoothness in a normed linear space. We characterize this property and show the connections between smoothness and approximate smoothness for some spaces. As an application, we consider in particular…

We consider minimization of functions that are compositions of convex or prox-regular functions (possibly extended-valued) with smooth vector functions. A wide variety of important optimization problems fall into this framework. We describe…

Motivated by conforming finite element methods for elliptic problems of second order, we analyze the approximation of the gradient of a target function by continuous piecewise polynomial functions over a simplicial mesh. The main result is…

We primarily investigate congruences modulo $p$ for finite sums of the form $\sum_k\binom{rk}{k}x^k/k$ over the ranges $0<k<p$ and $0<k<p/r$, where $p$ is a prime larger than the positive integer $r$. Here $x$ is an indeterminate, thus…

In this paper, we study clustering with respect to the k-modes objective function, a natural formulation of clustering for categorical data. One of the main contributions of this paper is to establish the connection between k-modes and…

Approximation of entire functions by their pad\'e approximants has been examined in the past. It is true that generically such an approximation holds. However, examining this problem from another viewpoint, we obtain stronger generic…

We set up a parametrised monadic translation for a class of call-by-value functional languages, and prove a corresponding soundness theorem. We then present a series of concrete instantiations of our translation, demonstrating that a number…

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 aim of this article is to introduce the Kantorovich form of generalized Szasz-type operators involving Charlier polynomials with certain parameters. In this paper we discussed the rate of convergence better error estimates and…

In this paper, we study the order of approximation for max-product Kantorovich sampling operators based upon generalized kernels in the setting of Orlicz spaces. We establish a quantitative estimate for the considered family of…

For any positive integer $n$ and variables $a$ and $x$ we define the generalized Legendre polynomial $P_n(a,x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\b ak\b{-1-a}k(\frac{1-x}2)^k$. Let $p$ be an odd prime. In the paper we prove many congruences modulo $p^2$ related…

Provided a special function of one variable and some of its derivatives can be accurately computed over a finite range, a method is presented to build a series of polynomial approximations of the function with a defined relative error over…

We use discrete holomorphic polynomials to prove that, given a refining sequence of critical maps of a Riemann surface, any holomorphic function can be approximated by a converging sequence of discrete holomorphic functions.

The main goal in this manuscript is to present a class of functions satisfying a certain orthogonality property for which there also exists a three term recurrence formula. This class of functions, which can be considered as an extension to…

Compounding submodular monotone (i.e. 2-alternating) set functions on a finite set preserves this property, as shown in 2010. A natural generalization to k-alternating functions was presented in 2018, however hardly readable because of page…

We determine the most general form of a smooth function on Young diagrams, that is, a polynomial in the interlacing or multirectangular coordinates whose value depends only on the shape of the diagram. We prove that the algebra of such…
