This paper continues the study of a class of compact convex hypersurfaces in Euclidean space $R^{n+1}, ~n \geq 1$, which are boundaries of compact convex bodies obtained by taking the intersection of (solid) confocal paraboloids of…

We prove the existence of holomorphic functions $f$ defined on any open convex subset ${\rm \Omega}\subset {{\mathbb C}}^n$, whose partial sums of the Taylor developments approximate uniformly any complex polynomial on any convex compact…

We obtain a gradient estimate for the Gauss maps from complete spacelike constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in Minkowski space into the hyperbolic space. As applications, we prove a Bernstein theorem which says that if the image of the…

We use the method of pseudoanalytic continuation to obtain a characterization of spaces of holomorphic functions with boundary values in Besov spaces in terms of polynomial approximations.

We extend to infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces a celebrated result, due to B. Polyak, about the convexity of the joint image of quadratic functions. We give sufficient conditions which assure that the joint image is also closed. However,…

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 study universal approximation of continuous functionals on compact subsets of products of Hilbert spaces. We prove that any such functional can be uniformly approximated by models that first take finitely many continuous linear…

We study approximation of functions by algebraic polynomials in the H\"older spaces corresponding to the generalized Jacobi translation and the Ditzian-Totik moduli of smoothness. By using modifications of the classical moduli of…

We display four approximation theorems for manifold-valued mappings. The first one approximates holomorphic embeddings on pseudoconvex domains in $\Bbb C^n$ with holomorphic embeddings with dense images. The second theorem approximates…

We introduce an asymmetric operator of generalised translation, define the generalised modulus of smoothness by its means, and obtain the direct and inverse theorems in approximation theory for it.

By the celebrated Weierstrass Theorem the set of algebraic polynomials is dense in the space of continuous functions on a compact set in R^d. In this paper we study the following question: does the density hold if we approximate only by…

We discuss a general result of holomorphic extension of a real analytic function $f$ defined on the boundary $\partial D$ of a real analytic strictly convex subset $D\subset\subset \C^n$. We show that this follows from the hypothesis of…

In this sequel to arxiv:arXiv:1012.0835 we develop Bezout type theorems for semidegrees (including an explicit formula for {\em iterated semidegrees}) and an inequality for subdegrees. In addition we prove (in case of surfaces) a Bernstein…

We prove an analogue of a theorem of A. Pollington and S. Velani ('05), furnishing an upper bound on the Hausdorff dimension of certain subsets of the set of very well intrinsically approximable points on a quadratic hypersurface. The proof…

On some specified convex supporting sets of spheres, we find a generalized longitude function whose level sets are totally geodesic. Given an arbitrary (weakly) harmonic map into spheres, the composition of the generalized longitude…

We prove various theorems on approximation using polynomials with integer coefficients in the Bernstein basis of any given order. In the extreme, we draw the coefficients from $\{ \pm 1\}$ only. A basic case of our results states that for…

Let $(\tau_n)_n$ be a sequence of real numbers in $(1,+\infty)$. Using potential theoretic methods, we prove quantitative results - Bernstein-Walsh type theorems - about uniform approximation by polynomials of the form $\sum_{k=\lfloor…

We investigate random compact sets with random functions defined thereon, such as polynomials, rational functions, the pluricomplex Green function and the Siciak extremal function. One surprising consequence of our study is that randomness…

For a convex domain $D$ that is enclosed by the hypersurface $\partial D$ of bounded normal curvature, we prove an angle comparison theorem for angles between $\partial D$ and geodesic rays starting from some fixed point in $D$, and the…

We investigate affine Berkovich spaces over maximally complete fields and prove that they may be approximated by simpler spaces when the only functions we need to evaluate are polynomials of bounded degree. We derive applications to…
