We define the notion of {\em rational presentation of a complete metric space} in order to study metric spaces from the algorithmic complexity point of view. In this setting, we study some presentations of the space $\czu$ of uniformly…

A classical result in approximation theory states that for any continuous function \( \varphi: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} \), the set \( \operatorname{span}\{\varphi \circ g : g \in \operatorname{Aff}(\mathbb{R})\} \) is dense in \(…

In this work, we look into some results about dense subspaces of $C[0,1]$. Being our starting point the Weierstrass' Approximation Theorem, we study generalization of this in two directions: the first one studying subspaces which also have…

This paper discusses various theorems on the approximation capabilities of neural networks (NNs), which are known as universal approximation theorems (UATs). The paper gives a systematic overview of UATs starting from the preliminary…

We seek random versions of some classical theorems on complex approximation by polynomials and rational functions, as well as investigate properties of random compact sets in connection to complex approximation.

In this paper we present a Stone-Weierstrass type result in the context of continuous interval-valued functions defined on a compact Hausdorff space. Namely, we provide a constructive proof of the approximation.

This is a literal word-for-word translation from the French of Phragmen's proof (the first such published) of Weierstrass' famous theorem characterizing all analytic functions which possess an algebraic addition theorem.

We introduce a class of real algebraic varieties characterised by a simple rationality condition, which exhibit strong properties regarding approximation of continuous and smooth mappings by regular ones. They form a natural counterpart to…

We prove a version of the Bernstein-Walsh theorem on uniform polynomial approximation of holomorphic functions on compact sets in several complex variables. Here we consider subclasses of the full polynomial space associated to a convex…

Large algebraic structures are found inside the space of sequences of continuous functions on a compact interval having the property that, the series defined by each sequence converges absolutely and uniformly on the interval but the series…

We introduce an asymmetric operator of generalised translation, define the generalised modulus of smoothness by its means, and obtain the direct and inverse theorems in approximation theory for it.

This is a literal word-for-word translation from the German of the article by Paul Koebe which contains a proof of Weierstrass's famous theorem characterizing all analytic functions which possess an algebraic addition theorem.

Let $J$ denote the interval either $(0,1]$ or $ [1, \infty)$. A positive function $f$ on $J$ with $f(1) =1$ is reffered to as a Weierstrass function if it fulfils the double inequality for $x,y \in J$: $$f(x) + f(y) -1 \leq f(xy) \leq…

We define the notion of Bernstein measures and Bernstein approximations over general convex polytopes. This generalizes well-known Bernstein polynomials which are used to prove the Weierstrass approximation theorem on one dimensional…

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…

Finding roots of univariate polynomials is one of the fundamental tasks of numerics, and there is still a wide gap between root finders that are well understood in theory and those that perform well in practice. We investigate the root…

Arakelian's classical approximation theorem \cite{Ar} gives necessary and sufficient conditions such that functions can be uniformly approximated in (unbounded) closed sets $F\subset \mathbb{C}$ by entire functions. The conditions are…

Approximation theory is concerned with the ability to approximate functions by simpler and more easily calculated functions. The first question we ask in approximation theory concerns the {\it possibility of approximation}. Is the given…

Let $\mathscr{C}_\mathbb{Z}([0,1])$ be the metric space of real-valued continuous functions on $[0,1]$ with integer values at $0$ and $1$, equipped with the uniform (supremum) metric $d_\infty$. It is a classical theorem in approximation…
