An explicit family of polynomials on the unit ball $B^d$ of $\RR^d$ is constructed, so that it is an orthonormal family with respect to the inner product $$ < f,g > = \rho \int_{B^d}\nabla f(x)\cdot \nabla g(x) dx + \CL (fg), $$ where $\rho…
In this paper, we introduce a new family of orthogonal systems, termed as the M\"{u}ntz ball polynomials (MBPs), which are orthogonal with respect to the weight function: $\|x\|^{2\theta+2\mu-2} (1-\|x\|^{2\theta})^{\alpha}$ with the…
We describe polynomials of the best uniform approximation to sgn(x) on the union of two intervals in terms of special conformal mappings. This permits us to find the exact asymptotic behavior of the error of this approximation.
