A soft-max function has two main efficiency measures: (1) approximation - which corresponds to how well it approximates the maximum function, (2) smoothness - which shows how sensitive it is to changes of its input. Our goal is to identify…
The article deals with the mixed modulus of smoothness of positive order and the best approximation by ''angle'' of functions from the Lorentz space $L_{p, \tau}(\mathbb{T}^{m})$. The properties of the mixed modulus of smoothness, the sharp…

Stein's method for Gaussian process approximation can be used to bound the differences between the expectations of smooth functionals $h$ of a c\`adl\`ag random process $X$ of interest and the expectations of the same functionals of a well…
In this paper, we discuss various basic properties of moduli of smoothness of functions from $L_p(\mathbb{R}^d)$, $0<p\le \infty$. In particular, complete versions of Jackson-, Marchaud-, and Ulyanov-type inequalities are given for the…
In this paper, we introduce a method known as polynomial frame approximation for approximating smooth, multivariate functions defined on irregular domains in $d$ dimensions, where $d$ can be arbitrary. This method is simple, and relies only…

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…
Numerical solutions of differential equations are usually not smooth functions. However, they should resemble the smoothness of the corresponding real solutions in one way or another. In two of our recent papers, a kind of spacial…
We study integration and $L_2$-approximation on countable tensor products of function spaces of increasing smoothness. We obtain upper and lower bounds for the minimal errors, which are sharp in many cases including, e.g., Korobov, Walsh,…
This paper studies approximation properties of linear sampling operators in general Banach lattices $X$. We obtain matching direct and inverse approximation estimates, convergence criteria, equivalence results involving special…
To tackle difficulties for theoretical studies in situations involving nonsmooth functions, we propose a sequence of infinitely differentiable functions to approximate the nonsmooth function under consideration. A rate of approximation is…
Most approximation methods in high dimensions exploit smoothness of the function being approximated. These methods provide poor convergence results for non-smooth functions with kinks. For example, such kinks can arise in the uncertainty…
In this article, we consider the problem of approximating a finite set of data (usually huge in applications) by invariant subspaces generated through a small set of smooth functions. The invariance is either by translations under a…
In weighted Orlicz type spaces ${\mathcal S}_{_{\scriptstyle \mathbf p,\,\mu}}$ with a variable summation exponent, the direct and inverse approximation theorems are proved in terms of best approximations of functions and moduli of…
We present approximate algorithms for performing smoothing in a class of high-dimensional state-space models via sequential Monte Carlo methods ("particle filters"). In high dimensions, a prohibitively large number of Monte Carlo samples…
We study approximation properties of linear sampling operators in the spaces $L_p$ for $1\le p<\infty$. By means of the Steklov averages, we introduce a new measure of smoothness that simultaneously contains information on the smoothness of…
We characterize $k-$smoothness of an element on the unit sphere of a finite-dimensional polyhedral Banach space. Then we study $k-$smoothness of an operator $T \in \mathbb{L}(\ell_{\infty}^n,\mathbb{Y}),$ where $\mathbb{Y}$ is a…
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…
