In Mergelyan type approximation we uniformly approximate functions on compact sets K by polynomials or rational functions or holomorphic functions on varying open sets containing K. In the present paper we consider analogous approximation,…

Let $E$ be a closed subset of the unit circle of measure zero. Recently, Beise and M\"uller showed the existence of a function in the Hardy space $H^2$ for which the partial sums of its Taylor series approximate any continuous function on…

Let $E$ be an arbitrary subset of the unit circle $T$ and let $f$ be a function defined on $E$. When there exist polynomials $P_n$ which are uniformly bounded by a number $M > 0$ on $T$ and converge (pointwise) to $f$ at each point of $E$?…

For a function $f$, continuous on a compact convex set $K$ and analytic in its interior we construct a sequence of almost optimal polynomials that converge with a geometric rate at points of analyticity of $f$.

We consider the problem of approximation of a continuous function $f$ defined on a compact metric space $X$ by elements from a sum of two algebras. We prove a de la Vall\'{e}e Poussin type theorem, which estimates the approximation error…

Let $A$ be a non-projectively-pluripolar set in a Fr\'{e}chet space $E.$ We give sufficient conditions to ensure the convergence on some zero-neighbourhood in $E$ of a (sequence of) formal power series of Fr\'{e}chet-valued continuous…

We investigate asymptotic polynomial approximation for a class of weighted Bloch functions in the unit disc. Our main result is a structural theorem on asymptotic polynomial approximation in the unit disc, in the flavor of the classical…

We construct polynomial approximations of Dzjadyk type (in terms of the k-th modulus of continuity, $k \ge 1$) for analytic functions defined on a continuum E in the complex plane, which simultaneously interpolate at given points of E.…

We use weighted polynomial approximation to prove the existence of a compact set K with non-empty interior and a function f is dense in the space A(K) of all continuous functions on K that are holomorphic in the interior of K, endowed with…

In \cite{5} we proved that generically functions defined in any open set can be approximated by a sequense of their pad\'{e} approximants, in the sense of uniform convergence on compacta. In this paper we examine a more particular space,…

For a compact subset $K$ of the complex plane $\mathbb C,$ let $C(K)$ denote the algebra of continuous functions on $K$. For an open subset $U \subset K,$ let $A(K,U) \subset C(K)$ be the algebra of functions that are analytic in $U.$ We…

Motivated by recent work on optimal approximation by polynomials in the unit disk, we consider the following noncommutative approximation problem: for a polynomial $f$ in $d$ freely noncommuting arguments, find a free polynomial $p_n$, of…

We prove some results on when functions on compact sets $K \subset \mathbb C$ can be approximated by polynomials avoiding values in given sets. We also prove some higher dimensional analogues. In particular we prove that a continuous…

We strengthen the classical approximation theorems of Weierstrass, Runge and Mergelyan by showing the polynomial and rational approximants can be taken to have a simple geometric structure. In particular, when approximating a function $f$…
