We obtain the asymptotic equalities for the least upper bounds of approximations by interpolation trigonometric polynomials with the equidistant nodes $x_k^{(n-1)}=\frac{2k\pi}{2n-1},\ k\in\mathbb{Z},$ in metrics of the spaces $L_p$ on…

We establish best possible pointwise (up to a constant multiple) estimates for approximation, on a finite interval, by polynomials that satisfy finitely many (Hermite) interpolation conditions, and show that these estimates cannot be…

We prove the convergence of the proximal point algorithm for finding the unique minimizer of a strongly quasiconvex function in general nonlinear Hadamard spaces, generalizing a recent result due to F. Lara. Our argument is rather…

Spectral polynomial approximation of smooth functions allows real-time manipulation of and computation with them, as in the Chebfun system. Extension of the technique to two-dimensional and three-dimensional functions on hyperrectangles has…

The perimeter and area generating functions of exactly solvable polygon models satisfy q-functional equations, where q is the area variable. The behaviour in the vicinity of the point where the perimeter generating function diverges can…

We consider the problem of minimizing the composition of a nonsmooth function with a smooth mapping in the case where the proximity operator of the nonsmooth function can be explicitly computed. We first show that this proximity operator…

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 consider the problem of minimizing a continuous function that may be nonsmooth and nonconvex, subject to bound constraints. We propose an algorithm that uses the L-BFGS quasi-Newton approximation of the problem's curvature together with…

In this work, we study the computability of topological graphs, which are obtained by gluing arcs and rays together at their endpoints. We prove that every semicomputable graph in a computable metric space can be approximated, with…

Denote by $\Gamma$ the set of pointwise good sequences. Those are sequences of real numbers $(a_k)$ such that for any measure preserving flow $(U_t)_{t\in \mathbb R}$ on a probability space and for any $f\in L^\infty$, the averages…

Extending classical results on polytopal approximation of convex bodies, we derive asymptotic formulas for the weighted approximation of smooth convex functions by piecewise affine convex functions as the number of their facets tends to…

Approximations of non-smooth multivariate functions return low-order approximations in the vicinities of the singularities. Most prior works solve this problem for univariate functions. In this work we introduce a method for approximating…

If $f\in L^2(R^d)$ and if the function $f(x)f(y)$ is close in $L^2(R^{2d})$ norm to a radially symmetric function of $(x,y)$ then $f$ is close in $L^2$ norm to a centered Gaussian function. This is proved in a quantitative form with the…

Moment-sum-of-squares hierarchies of semidefinite programs can be used to approximate the volume of a given compact basic semialgebraic set K. The idea consists of approximating from above the indicator function of K with a sequence of…

In this paper, we will discuss the notion of almost orthogonality in a functional sequence.Especially, we will define a few sequences of almost orthogonal polynomials which can be used successfully for modeling of electronic systems which…

The popular BFGS quasi-Newton minimization algorithm under reasonable conditions converges globally on smooth convex functions. This result was proved by Powell in 1976: we consider its implications for functions that are not smooth. In…

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…

Let $\alpha_{n1},\dots,\alpha_{nn}$ be the zeros of the $n$th Bessel polynomial $y_n(z)$ and let $a_{nk}=1-\alpha_{nk}/2$, $b_{nk}=1+\alpha_{nk}/2$ $(k=1,\dots,n)$. We propose the new formula \[z f'(z)\approx \sum_{k=1}^n \big(f(a_{nk}…
