We review the theory of optimal polynomial and rational Chebyshev approximations, and Zolotarev's formula for the sign function over the range (\epsilon \leq |z| \leq1). We explain how rational approximations can be applied to large sparse…

A fundamental problem in numerical analysis and approximation theory is approximating smooth functions by polynomials. A much harder version under recent consideration is to enforce bounds constraints on the approximating polynomial. In…

We give a new proof of an approximate functional equation, due to J. R. Wilton, for a trigonometric sum involving the divisor function. This allows us to improve on Wilton's error term and to give an explicit formula for an unspecified…

A simple proof is given of the known fact that an m-times continuously differentiable function on the real line can be approximated along with its derivatives by an entire function and its respective derivatives.

Lasserre [La] proved that for every compact set $K\subset\mathbb R^n$ and every even number $d$ there exists a unique homogeneous polynomial $g_0$ of degree $d$ with $K\subset G_1(g_0)=\{x\in\mathbb R^n:g_0(x)\leq 1\}$ minimizing $|G_1(g)|$…

The aim of this work is to introduced the concept of the best one-sided approximation of unbounded functions in weighted space by using algebraic operators in terms the average modulus of smoothness. We also show an estimate of the degree…

We use discrete holomorphic polynomials to prove that, given a refining sequence of critical maps of a Riemann surface, any holomorphic function can be approximated by a converging sequence of discrete holomorphic functions.

We prove that every continuous function on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space X can be uniformly approximated by smooth functions with no critical points. This kind of result can be regarded as a sort of very strong approximate…

We establish universal approximation theorems for infinite-dimensional geometric rough paths, i.e., we show that continuous functions on the space of infinite-dimensional weakly geometric H\"older continuous rough paths can be approximated…

This paper is devoted to the equivalence of two type direct theorems in Approximation Theory: a) for smooth functions (Favard's estimates). b) for arbitrary continuous function (Jackson--Stechkin estimates). Specifically, we will show that…

We state a kind of Euclidian division theorem: given a polynomial P(x) and a divisor d of the degree of P, there exist polynomials h(x),Q(x),R(x) such that P(x) = h(Q(x)) +R(x), with deg h=d. Under some conditions h,Q,R are unique, and Q is…

We study the Lusin approximation problem for real-valued measurable functions on Carnot groups. We prove that k-approximate differentiability almost everywhere is equivalent to admitting a Lusin approximation by $C^{k}_{\mathbb{G}}$ maps.…

The paper explores connection between the order and the type of an entire function and the speed of the best polynomial approximation in the unit disk. The relations which define the order and the type of an entire function through the…

Using lattice approximations of Euclidean space, we develop a way to approximate stable processes that are represented by stochastic integrals over Euclidean space. Via a stable version of the Lindeberg-Feller Theorem we show that the…

We prove an analogue of Chebyshev's alternation theorem for linearly independent discrete functions $\Phi_n=\{\varphi_k\}_{k=1}^n$ on the interval $[0,q]_{\mathbb{Z}}=[0,q]\cap \mathbb{Z}$. In particular, we establish that the polynomial of…

We study the rational approximation properties of special manifolds defined by a set of polynomials with rational coefficients. Mostly we will assume the case of all polynomials to depend on only one variable. In this case the manifold can…

We announce some new results on the convergence of Chebyshev--Pad\'e approximations to real-valued algebraic function given on the segment $[-1,1]$. The rate of convergence on the segment and in the corresponding maximal domain of…

We study the ridge method for min-max problems, and investigate its convergence without any convexity, differentiability or qualification assumption. The central issue is to determine whether the ''parametric optimality formula'' provides a…

In this paper, we discuss the problem of minimizing the sum of two convex functions: a smooth function plus a non-smooth function. Further, the smooth part can be expressed by the average of a large number of smooth component functions, and…

In this paper we investigate the approximation of continuous functions on the Wasserstein space by smooth functions, with smoothness meant in the sense of Lions differentiability. In particular, in the case of a Lipschitz function we are…
