Approximation by polynomials on a triangle is studied in the Sobolev space $W_2^r$ that consists of functions whose derivatives of up to $r$-th order have bounded $L^2$ norm. The first part aims at understanding the orthogonal structure in…

The paper concerns the uniform polynomial approximation of a function $f$, continuous on the unit Euclidean sphere of ${\mathbb R}^3$ and known only at a finite number of points that are somehow uniformly distributed on the sphere. First we…
