In this survey, we use (more or less) elementary means to establish the well-known result that for any given smooth multivariate function, the respective multivariate Bernstein polynomials converge to that function in all derivatives on…
In 1951, Diliberto and Straus proposed a levelling algorithm for the uniform approximation of a bivariate function, defined on a rectangle with sides parallel to the coordinate axes, by sums of univariate functions. In the current paper, we…

We strengthen the classical approximation theorems of Weierstrass, Runge and Mergelyan by showing the polynomial and rational approximants can be taken to have a simple geometric structure. In particular, when approximating a function $f$…
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…

The Weierstrass curve $X$ is a smooth algebraic curve determined by the Weierstrass canonical form, $y^r + A_{1}(x) y^{r-1} + A_{2}(x) y^{r-2} +\cdots + A_{r-1}(x) y + A_{r}(x)=0$, where $r$ is a positive integer, and each $A_j$ is a…

In this paper we present a new semilocal convergence theorem from data at one point for the Weierstrass iterative method for the simultaneous computation of polynomial zeros. The main result generalizes and improves all previous ones in…
We give a uniform approximation of the characteristic function of the boundary of a centrally symmetric n-dimensional compact and convex set by homogeneous polynomials of even degree $d$ fulfilling $|g_d-1|\leq E/d^{1/2-\beta}$, for every…
We introduce some classical concepts in the representation theory of compact groups, in order to use them for a new generalization of the Peter-Weyl Theorem. We mostly deal with functions on locally compact groups possessing large…
The integrability problem consists in finding the class of functions a first integral of a given planar polynomial differential system must belong to. We recall the characterization of systems which admit an elementary or Liouvillian first…
A deep approximation is an approximating function defined by composing more than one layer of simple functions. We study deep approximations of functions of one variable using layers consisting of low-degree polynomials or simple conformal…
The aim of this paper is to give an effective version of the Strong Artin Approximation Theorem for binomial equations. First we give an effective version of the Greenberg Approximation Theorem for polynomial equations, then using the…
The Riemann -Rock theorem plays a central role in the theory of Riemann surfaces with applications to several branches in Mathematics and Physics. Suppose $X$ ia a compact Riemann surface of genus $g$ and $P \in X$. By the Riemann-Roch…
We provide some conditions for the graph of a Hoelder-continuous function on \bar{D}, where \bar{D} is a closed disc in the complex plane, to be polynomially convex. Almost all sufficient conditions known to date --- provided the function…
We give the theorem of coincidence of a class of functions defined by a generalised modulus of smoothness with a class of functions defined by the order of the best approximation by algebraic polynomials. We also prove the appropriate…
Given an arbitrary long but finite sequence of observations from a finite set, we construct a simple process that approximates the sequence, in the sense that with high probability the empirical frequency, as well as the empirical one-step…
One of the basic principles of Approximation Theory is that the quality of approximations increase with the smoothness of the function to be approximated. Functions that are smooth in certain subdomains will have good approximations in…
We survey key techniques and results from approximation theory in the context of uniform approximations to real functions such as e^{-x}, 1/x, and x^k. We then present a selection of results demonstrating how such approximations can be used…
