Let $f(x)$ be a real function which has $(n+1)$-th derivative on an interval $[a, b]$. For any point $x_0\in (a, b)$ and any integer $0\leq k\leq n$, denote by $S_{k,x_0}(x)$ the $k$-th truncation of the Taylor expansion of $f(x)$ at $x_0$,…

Congruences of Fourier coefficients of modular forms have long been an object of central study. By comparison, the arithmetic of other expansions of modular forms, in particular Taylor expansions around points in the upper-half plane, has…

The paper is related to the following question of P.~L.~Ul'yanov: is it true that for any $2\pi$-periodic continuous function $f$ there is a uniformly convergent rearrangement of its trigonometric Fourier series? In particular, we give an…

We study the problem of approximating an unknown function $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ by a degree-$d$ polynomial using as few function evaluations as possible, where error is measured with respect to a probability distribution $\mu$.…

We consider two types of fractional integral moduli of smoothness, which are widely used in theory of functions and approximation theory. In particular, we obtain new equivalences between these moduli of smoothness and the classical moduli…

Let $(T,{\cal F},\mu)$ be a $\sigma$-finite measure space, $E$ a separable real Banach space and $p\geq 1$. Given a sequence of functions $f, f_1, f_2,...$ from $T\times E$ to ${\bf R}$, under general assumptions, we prove that, for each…

We define fractional power of the Dunkl Laplacian, fractional modulus of smoothness and fractional $K$-functional in $L^p$-space with the Dunkl weight. As application, we prove direct and inverse theorems of approximation theory, and some…

In many practical applications, spatial data are often collected at areal levels (i.e., block data) and the inferences and predictions about the variable at points or blocks different from those at which it has been observed typically…

We present here a new method for approximating functions defined on superreflexive Banach spaces by differentiable functions with $\alpha$-H\"older derivatives (for some $0<\alpha\leq 1$). The smooth approximation is given by means of an…

We investigate analytic properties of the double Fourier sphere (DFS) method, which transforms a function defined on the two-dimensional sphere to a function defined on the two-dimensional torus. Then the resulting function can be written…

We study approximation of Boolean functions by low-degree polynomials over the ring $\mathbb{Z}/2^k\mathbb{Z}$. More precisely, given a Boolean function $F:\{0,1\}^n \rightarrow \{0,1\}$, define its $k$-lift to be $F_k:\{0,1\}^n \rightarrow…

We prove that several forms of the Bernstein polynomials with integer coefficients possess the property of simultaneous approximation, that is, they approximate not only the function but also its derivatives. We establish direct estimates…

This paper considers the minimization problem of relaxed submodular functions. For a positive integer $k$, a set function is called $k$-distant submodular if the submodular inequality holds for every pair whose symmetric difference is at…
