By the celebrated Weierstrass Theorem the set of algebraic polynomials is dense in the space of continuous functions on a compact set in R^d. In this paper we study the following question: does the density hold if we approximate only by…
The celebrated and famous Weierstrass approximation theorem characterizes the set of continuous functions on a compact interval via uniform approximation by algebraic polynomials. This theorem is the first significant result in…
We give an elementary proof of an analogue of Fej\'er's theorem in weighted Dirichlet spaces with superharmonic weights. This provides a simple way of seeing that polynomials are dense in such spaces.
The density of polynomials in a weighted space of infinitely differentiable functions in a multidimensional real space is proved under minimal conditions on weight functions and on differences between weight functions. We apply this result…
In this work, we extend the concept of the Stieltjes derivative to encompass left-continuous derivators with bounded variation, thereby relaxing the monotonicity constraint. This generalization necessitates a refined definition of the…
We consider the random continued fraction S(t) := 1/(s_1 + t/(s_2 + t/(s_3 + >...))) where the s_n are independent random variables with the same gamma distribution. For every realisation of the sequence, S(t) defines a Stieltjes function.…
The main purpose of this paper is to prove some density results of polynomials in Fock spaces of slice regular functions. The spaces can be of two different kinds since they are equipped with different inner products and contain different…
In this paper we use the Vandermonde matrices and their properties to give a new proof of the classical result of Karl Weierstrass about the approximation of continuous functions $f$ on closed intervals, using a sequence of polynomials. The…
The Bernstein approximation problem is to determine whether or not the space of all polynomials is dense in a given weighted $C_0$-space on the real line. A theorem of L. de Branges characterizes non--density by existence of an entire…
Final representation of all those measures $\mu$ for which algebraic polynomials are dense in $L_p(R, d\mu)$ is found. The weighted analogue of the Weierstrass polynomial approximation theorem and a new version of the M. Krein's theorem…
In this work we develop a theory of Stieltjes-analytic functions. We first define the Stieltjes monomials and polynomials and we study them exhaustively. Then, we introduce the Stieltjes analytic functions locally, as an infinite series of…
Stieltjes' work on continued fractions and the orthogonal polynomials related to continued fraction expansions is summarized and an attempt is made to describe the influence of Stieltjes' ideas and work in research done after his death,…
We strengthen the Weierstrass approximation theorem by proving that any real-valued continuous function on an interval $I \subset \mathbb{R}$ can be uniformly approximated by a real-valued polynomial whose only (possibly complex) critical…
For various Hilbert spaces of analytic functions on the unit disk, we characterize when a function $f$ has optimal polynomial approximants given by truncations of a single power series. We also introduce a generalized notion of optimal…
In the present paper we prove a Stieltjes type theorem on the convergence of a sequence of rational functions associated with a mixed type Hermite-Pad\'e approximation problem of a Nikishin system of functions and analyze the ratio…
In this paper we study the set of functions $\GG$-valued which can be approximated by $\GG$-valued continuous functions in the norm $L^\infty_{\GG}(I,w)$, where $I$ is a compact interval, $\GG$ is a real and separable Hilbert space and $w$…
We present an approximation theorem for continuous non-decreasing functions on compact preordered spaces, leading to an algebraic characterization of their corresponding function spaces. As an application, we prove that the family of…
Asymptotic formulas are derived for the Stieltjes-Wigert polynomials $S_n(z;q)$ in the complex plane as the degree $n$ grows to infinity. One formula holds in any disc centered at the origin, and the other holds outside any smaller disc…
We find Stieltjes-type and Jacobi-type continued fractions for some "master polynomials" that enumerate permutations, set partitions or perfect matchings with a large (sometimes infinite) number of simultaneous statistics. Our results…
The duality theorem of Lass relates the matching polynomials of a simple graph $G$ with the matching polynomials of its complement $\bar G$. In particular, this relation gives rise to Godsil's result, which offers a nice interpretation of…
