We study best approximation to a given function, in the least square sense on a subset of the unit circle, by polynomials of given degree which are pointwise bounded on the complementary subset. We show that the solution to this problem, as…

Lipschitz decomposition is a useful tool in the design of efficient algorithms involving metric spaces. While many bounds are known for different families of finite metrics, the optimal parameters for $n$-point subsets of $\ell_p$, for $p >…

We prove that all functions obeying the Kramers-Kronig relations can be approximated as superpositions of Lorentzian functions, to any precision. As a result, the typical text-book analysis of dielectric dispersion response functions in…

Divergence functions are interesting discrepancy measures. Even though they are not true distances, we can use them to measure how separated two points are. Curiously enough, when they are applied to random variables, they lead to a notion…

We consider an irreducible pair $\mu \leq_c \nu$ of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ in convex order. In arXiv:2306.11019, Backhoff, Beiglb\"ock, Schachermayer and Tschiderer have shown that the Stretched Brownian Motion from $\mu$ to…

We consider the pointwise approximation of a subharmonic function by the logarithm of the modulus of an entire function up to a bounded quantity. In the case of finite order an estimate from below of the planar Lebesgue measure of an…

We look at geometric limits of large random non-uniform permutations. We mainly consider two theories for limits of permutations: permuton limits, introduced by Hoppen, Kohayakawa, Moreira, Rath, and Sampaio to define a notion of scaling…

Entropic optimal transport offers a computationally tractable approximation to the classical problem. In this note, we study the approximation rate of the entropic optimal transport map (in approaching the Brenier map) when the…

Discretization of the uniform norm of functions from a given finite dimensional subspace of continuous functions is studied. We pay special attention to the case of trigonometric polynomials with frequencies from an arbitrary finite set…

Polynomial reproduction plays a relevant role in deriving error estimates for various approximation schemes. Local reproduction in a quasi-uniform setting is a significant factor in the estimation of error and the assessment of stability…

This paper considers the orthogonal expansion of the fractional Brownian motion relative to the Legendre polynomials. Such an expansion has not only theoretical but also practical interest, since it can be applied to approximate and…

We consider the problem of finding the best harmonic or analytic approximant to a given function. We discuss when the best approximant is unique, and what regularity properties the best approximant inherits from the original function. All…

We discuss approximation of extremal functions by polynomials in the weighted Bergman spaces $A^p_\alpha$ where $-1 < \alpha < 0$ and $-1 < \alpha < p-2$. We obtain bounds on how close the approximation is to the true extremal function in…

We explore asymptotically optimal bounds for deviations of Bernoulli convolutions from the Poisson limit in terms of the Shannon relative entropy and the Pearson $\chi^2$-distance. The results are based on proper non-uniform estimates for…

Given a compactly supported probability measure on a Riemannian manifold, we study the asymptotic speed at which it can be approximated (in Wasserstein distance of any exponent p) by finitely supported measure. This question has been…

We study the universal closest refinement problem on measurable bipartite relations over standard Borel spaces. Given prescribed side measures, the feasible class consists of finite refinement plans concentrated on the relation and carrying…
