Operator convex functions defined on the positive half-line play a prominent role in the theory of quantum information, where they are used to define quantum $f$-divergences. Such functions admit integral representations in terms of…
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 consider the ``modified Minimal Analytic'' (mMA) coupling that involves an infrared cut to the standard MA coupling. The mMA coupling is a Stieltjes function and, as a consequence, the paradiagonal Pade approximants converge to the…
There are several kinds of universal Taylor series. In one such kind the universal approximation is required at every boundary point of the domain of definition $\OO$ of the universal function $f$. In another kind the universal…
We study ($p$-harmonic) singular functions, defined by means of upper gradients, in bounded domains in metric measure spaces. It is shown that singular functions exist if and only if the complement of the domain has positive capacity, and…

Elementary function calls are a common feature in numerical programs. While their implementions in library functions are highly optimized, their computation is nonetheless very expensive compared to plain arithmetic. Full accuracy is,…
