In the 1990's exponential-type error bounds appeared in the theory of radial basis functions. This kind of error bounds is very powerful. However it only measures the difference between the approximant and approximand. Mathematicians and…
A real valued function $f$ defined on a convex $K$ is anemconvex function iff it satisfies $$ f((x+y)/2) \le (f(x)+f(y))/2 + 1. $$ A thorough study of approximately convex functions is made. The principal results are a sharp universal upper…
We study the complexity of approximating complex zero sets of certain $n$-variate exponential sums. We show that the real part, $R$, of such a zero set can be approximated by the $(n-1)$-dimensional skeleton, $T$, of a polyhedral…
Let $\theta >2$ be real and non-integral with integer part $n = \lfloor \theta \rfloor$ and let $ \phi (x)$ be a generalised polynomial with leading term $x^\theta.$ We establish a mean value estimate for the exponential sum…

We decompose the energy error of any variational DFT calculation into a contribution due to the approximate functional and that due to the approximate density. Typically, the functional error dominates, but in many interesting situations,…
Asymptotic expansions are derived for solutions of the parabolic cylinder and Weber differential equations. In addition the inhomogeneous versions of the equations are considered, for the case of polynomial forcing terms. The expansions…
We introduce approximation functions of $li(x)$ for all $x\ge e$: (1) $\displaystyle li_{\underline{\omega},\alpha}(x) = \frac{x}{\log(x)}\left( \alpha\frac{\underline{m}!}{\log^{\underline{m}}(x)} +…
We prove two main results on how arbitrary linear threshold functions $f(x) = \sign(w\cdot x - \theta)$ over the $n$-dimensional Boolean hypercube can be approximated by simple threshold functions. Our first result shows that every…
Using geometric considerations, we provide a clear derivation of the integral representation for the error function, known as the Craig formula. We calculate the corresponding power series expansion and prove the convergence. The same…
A finite sum of exponential functions may be expressed by a linear combination of powers of the independent variable and by successive integrals of the sum. This is proved for the general case and the connection between the parameters in…

The $\epsilon$-approximate degree of a function $f\colon X \to \{0, 1\}$ is the least degree of a multivariate real polynomial $p$ such that $|p(x)-f(x)| \leq \epsilon$ for all $x \in X$. We determine the $\epsilon$-approximate degree of…
