Let $X$ be a Banach holomorphic function space on the unit disk. A linear polynomial approximation scheme for $X$ is a sequence of bounded linear operators $T_n:X\to X$ with the property that, for each $f\in X$, the functions $T_n(f)$ are…

The ubiquitous Lanczos method can approximate $f(A)x$ for any symmetric $n \times n$ matrix $A$, vector $x$, and function $f$. In exact arithmetic, the method's error after $k$ iterations is bounded by the error of the best degree-$k$…
