Let $E_n(f)_{\alpha,\beta,\gamma}$ denote the error of best approximation by polynomials of degree at most $n$ in the space $L^2(\varpi_{\alpha,\beta,\gamma})$ on the triangle $\{(x,y): x, y \ge 0, x+y \le 1\}$, where…

The best uniform polynomial approximation of the checkmark function $f(x)=|x-\alpha |$ is considered, as $\alpha$ varies in $(-1,1)$. For each fixed degree $n$, the minimax error $E_n (\alpha)$ is shown to be piecewise analytic in $\alpha$.…

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…

Denoting by $E_{n}^{(+2)}(f)$ the best uniform approximation of $f$ by convex polynomials of degree $\le n$, there is an open question if there exists the limit $\lim_{n\to \infty}n^{\lambda}E_{n}^{(+2)}(|x|^{\lambda})$ for $\lambda \ge 1$.

There exist well-known tight bounds on the error between a function $f \in C^{\,n + 1}([-1, 1])$ and its best polynomial approximation of degree $n$. We show that the error meets these bounds when and only when $f$ is a polynomial of degree…

We study the polynomial approximation problem in $L^2(\mu_1)$ where $\mu_1(dx) = e^{-|x|}/2 dx$. We show that for any absolutely continuous function $f$, $$ \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \log^2(e+k) \langle f, P_k \rangle^2 \ \leq C \left(…

Let f be holomorphically continuable over the complex plane except for finitely many branch points contained in the unit disk. We prove that best rational approximants to f of degree n, in the L^2-sense on the unit circle, have poles that…

This is a survey on best polynomial approximation on the unit sphere and the unit ball. The central problem is to describe the approximation behavior of a function by polynomials via smoothness of the function. A major effort is to identify…

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…

For any real numbers $B \ge 1$ and $\delta \in (0, 1)$ and function $f: [0, B] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, let $d_{B; \delta} (f) \in \mathbb{Z}_{> 0}$ denote the minimum degree of a polynomial $p(x)$ satisfying $\sup_{x \in [0, B]} \big| p(x)…

Let $ f(z)=\int(z-x)^{-1}d\mu(x) $, where $ \mu $ is a Borel measure supported on several subintervals of $ (-1,1) $ with smooth Radon-Nikodym derivative. We study strong asymptotic behavior of the error of approximation $ (f-r_n)(z) $,…
