We consider structured optimisation problems defined in terms of the sum of a smooth and convex function, and a proper, l.s.c., convex (typically non-smooth) one in reflexive variable exponent Lebesgue spaces $L_{p(\cdot)}(\Omega)$. Due to…

Approximation by polynomials on a triangle is studied in the Sobolev space $W_2^r$ that consists of functions whose derivatives of up to $r$-th order have bounded $L^2$ norm. The first part aims at understanding the orthogonal structure in…

We give an algorithm which for an input planar graph $G$ of $n$ vertices and integer $k$, in $\min\{O(n\log^3n),O(nk^2)\}$ time either constructs a branch-decomposition of $G$ with width at most $(2+\delta)k$, $\delta>0$ is a constant, or a…

The best polynomial approximation and Chebyshev approximation are both important in numerical analysis. In tradition, the best approximation is regarded as more better than the Chebyshev approximation, because it is usually considered in…
