Let $f$ be a homogeneous polynomial with rational coefficients in $d$ variables. We prove several results concerning uniform simultaneous approximation to points on the graph of $f$, as well as on the hypersurface $\{f(x_1,\dots,x_d) =…

Given a nondecreasing function $f$ on $[-1,1]$, we investigate how well it can be approximated by nondecreasing algebraic polynomials that interpolate it at $\pm 1$. We establish pointwise estimates of the approximation error by such…

The approximate degree of a Boolean function $f\colon\{0,1\}^n\to\{0,1\}$ is the minimum degree of a real polynomial $p$ that approximates $f$ pointwise: $|f(x)-p(x)|\leq1/3$ for all $x\in\{0,1\}^n.$ For every $\delta>0,$ we construct CNF…

Several new inequalities for moduli of smoothness and errors of the best approximation of a function and its derivatives in the spaces $L_p$, $0<p<1$, are obtained. For example, it is shown that for any $0<p<1$ and $k,\,r\in \mathbb{N}$ one…

Let f be a degree D univariate polynomial with real coefficients and exactly m monomial terms. We show that in the special case m=3 we can approximate within eps all the roots of f in the interval [0,R] using just O(log(D)log(Dlog(R/eps)))…

We show that for multivariate Freud-type weights $W_\alpha(x)=\exp(-|x|^\alpha)$, $\alpha>1$, any convex function $f$ on $R^d$ satisfying $fW_\alpha\in L_p(R^d)$ if $1\le p<\infty$, or $\lim_{|x|\to\infty}f(x)W_\alpha(x)=0$ if $p=\infty$,…

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…

We deal with monotonic regression of multivariate functions $f: Q \to \mathbb{R}$ on a compact rectangular domain $Q$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, where monotonicity is understood in a generalized sense: as isotonicity in some coordinate directions…

Let $n\ge2$ and let $\Phi\colon\mathbb{R}^n\to[0,\infty)$ be a positively $1$-homogeneous and convex function. Given two convex bodies $A\subset B$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, the monotonicity of anisotropic $\Phi$-perimeters holds, i.e.…

In this paper we survey recent developments over the last 25 years on the mixed fractional moduli of smoothness of periodic functions from $L_p$, $1<p<\infty$. In particular, the paper includes monotonicity properties, equivalence and…

We investigate the monotonicity of the minimal period of periodic solutions of quasilinear differential equations involving the $p$-Laplace operator. First, the monotonicity of the period is obtained as a function of a Hamiltonian energy in…

Algorithms for min-max optimization and variational inequalities are often studied under monotonicity assumptions. Motivated by non-monotone machine learning applications, we follow the line of works [Diakonikolas et al., 2021, Lee and Kim,…
