Suppose that $S_1$ and $S_2$ are nonempty subsets of a complete metric space $(\mathcal{M},d)$ and $\phi,\psi:S_1\to S_2$ are mappings. The aim of this work is to investigate some conditions on $\phi$ and $\psi$ such that the two functions,…

Given a square complex matrix $A$, we tackle the problem of finding the nearest matrix with multiple eigenvalues or, equivalently when $A$ had distinct eigenvalues, the nearest defective matrix. To this goal, we extend the general framework…

We study Birkhoff-James orthogonality of compact (bounded) linear operators between Hilbert spaces and Banach spaces. Applying the notion of semi-inner-products in normed linear spaces and some related geometric ideas, we generalize and…

In this paper we consider the problem of finding the {\em densest} subset subject to {\em co-matroid constraints}. We are given a {\em monotone supermodular} set function $f$ defined over a universe $U$, and the density of a subset $S$ is…

Given an $a$-dimensional linear subspace $\mathfrak{A}$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ which contains a badly approximable $b$-dimensional subspace $\mathfrak{B} \subset \mathfrak{A}$. We study the badly approximability almost all $c$-dimensional linear…

We derive, similar to Lau and Riha, a matrix formulation of a general best approximation theorem of Singer for the special case of spectral approximations of a given matrix from a given subspace. Using our matrix formulation we describe the…

Computation of the trace of a matrix function plays an important role in many scientific computing applications, including applications in machine learning, computational physics (e.g., lattice quantum chromodynamics), network analysis and…

We present a new property of the trigonometric system arranged in a natural order. It is shown that the sequence of subspaces of trigonometric polynomials is optimal in the sense of order of convergence on convolution classes K*Up in Lq for…

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…

We propose and justify a matrix reduction method for calculating the optimal approximation of an observed matrix $A \in {\mathbb C}^{m \times n}$ by a sum $\sum_{i=1}^p \sum_{j=1}^q B_iX_{ij}C_j$ of matrix products where each $B_i \in…

We study the existence and characterization properties of compact Hermitian operators C on a separable Hilbert space H such that ||C|| is less or equal than || C + D ||, for all D in D(K(H)). This property is equivalent to || C || =…

In a previous paper (see arXiv:1003.3411 [math.CA]), we investigated the existence of an element x of a quasi-Banach space X whose errors of best approximation by a given approximation scheme (A_n) (defined by E(x,A_n) = \inf_{a \in A_n}…

We develop a self-contained framework for real tridiagonal Toeplitz matrices $A_n(a,b,c)$ (diagonal $b$, subdiagonal $a$, superdiagonal $c$) in the symmetrisable regime $ac>0$. A diagonal similarity transforms $A_n(a,b,c)$ into a symmetric…

We revisit Gersten's $\ell^\infty$-cohomology of groups and spaces, removing the finiteness assumptions required by the original definition while retaining its geometric nature. Mirroring the corresponding results in bounded cohomology, we…

Real continuous submodular functions, as a generalization of the corresponding discrete notion to the continuous domain, gained considerable attention recently. The analog notion for entropy functions requires additional properties: a real…

We approximate smooth maps defined on non-compact totally real manifolds by holomorphic automorphisms of $\mathbb C^n$.

Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a locally compact quantum group, and $A,B$ von Neumann algebras on which $\mathbb{G}$ acts. We refer to these as $\mathbb{G}$-dynamical W$^*$-algebras. We make a study of $\mathbb{G}$-equivariant $A$-$B$-correspondences,…

Following Schmidt, Thurnheer and Bugeaud-Kristensen, we study how Dirichlet's theorem on linear forms needs to be modified when one requires that the vectors of coefficients of the linear forms make a bounded acute angle with respect to a…

This paper explores the concept of approximate Birkhoff-James orthogonality in the context of operators on semi-Hilbert spaces. These spaces are generated by positive semi-definite sesquilinear forms. We delve into the fundamental…
