We present an approximation theorem for continuous non-decreasing functions on compact preordered spaces, leading to an algebraic characterization of their corresponding function spaces. As an application, we prove that the family of…
For a continuous function $f$ defined on a closed and bounded domain, there is at least one maximum and one minimum. First, we introduce some preliminaries which are necessary through the paper. We then present an algorithm, which is…
We seek random versions of some classical theorems on complex approximation by polynomials and rational functions, as well as investigate properties of random compact sets in connection to complex approximation.
A deep approximation is an approximating function defined by composing more than one layer of simple functions. We study deep approximations of functions of one variable using layers consisting of low-degree polynomials or simple conformal…
This work is a continuation of the recent study by the authors on approximation theory over the sphere and the ball. The main results define new Sobolev spaces on these domains and study polynomial approximations for functions in these…
Uniform polynomial approximation, also called minimax approximation or Chebyshev approximation, consists in searching polynomial approximation that minimizes the worst case error. Optimality conditions for the uniform approximation of…
A rational approximation by a ratio of polynomial functions is a flexible alternative to polynomial approximation. In particular, rational functions exhibit accurate estimations to nonsmooth and non- Lipschitz functions, where polynomial…
We prove that every nonnegative continuous real-valued function on a given compact metric space is the uniform limit of some increasing sequence of nonnegative simple functions being linear combinations of indicators of open sets; here the…
This paper demonstrates that the space of piecewise smooth functions can be well approximated by the space of functions defined by a set of simple (non-linear) operations on smooth uniform splines. The examples include bivariate functions…
A wide range of numerical methods exists for computing polynomial approximations of solutions of ordinary differential equations based on Chebyshev series expansions or Chebyshev interpolation polynomials. We consider the application of…
We give the theorem of coincidence of a class of functions defined by a generalised modulus of smoothness with a class of functions defined by the order of the best approximation by algebraic polynomials. We also prove the appropriate…
If f is a smooth function on a Hodge manifold, we construct a canonical sequence of real algebraic functions that converge to f in the smooth topology. The definition of of the approximants is inspired by Berezin-Toeplitz quantization. The…
In 1951, Diliberto and Straus proposed a levelling algorithm for the uniform approximation of a bivariate function, defined on a rectangle with sides parallel to the coordinate axes, by sums of univariate functions. In the current paper, we…
For various Hilbert spaces of analytic functions on the unit disk, we characterize when a function $f$ has optimal polynomial approximants given by truncations of a single power series. We also introduce a generalized notion of optimal…
In this paper we study the best approximation of a fixed fuzzy-number-valued continuous function to a subset of fuzzy-number-valued continuous functions. We also introduce a method to measure the distance between a fuzzy-number-valued…
We study properties of ridge functions $f(x)=g(a\cdot x)$ in high dimensions $d$ from the viewpoint of approximation theory. The considered function classes consist of ridge functions such that the profile $g$ is a member of a univariate…
We consider discrete best approximation problems in the setting of tropical algebra, which is concerned with the theory and application of algebraic systems with idempotent operations. Given a set of input--output pairs of an unknown…
In this survey, we use (more or less) elementary means to establish the well-known result that for any given smooth multivariate function, the respective multivariate Bernstein polynomials converge to that function in all derivatives on…

In this paper we prove that if a multivariate function of a certain smoothness class is represented by a sum of $k$ arbitrarily behaved ridge functions, then it can be represented by a sum of $k$ ridge functions of the same smoothness class…
