We prove a form of the Weierstrass Preparation Theorem for normal algebraic curves over complete discrete valuation rings. While the more traditional algebraic form of Weierstrass Preparation applies just to the projective line over a base,…

The universal approximation theorem is generalised to uniform convergence on the (noncompact) input space $\mathbb{R}^n$. All continuous functions that vanish at infinity can be uniformly approximated by neural networks with one hidden…

Wirsing's theorem on approximating algebraic numbers by algebraic numbers of bounded degree is a generalization of Roth's theorem in Diophantine approximation. We study variations of Wirsing's theorem where the inequality in the theorem is…

We propose a generalization of the Weierstrass iteration for over-constrained systems of equations and we prove that the proposed method is the Gauss-Newton iteration to find the nearest system which has at least $k$ common roots and which…

We survey the classical results of the Dirichlet Approximation Theorem.

In the present paper, we use a generalised shift operator in order to define a generalised modulus of smoothness. By its means, we define generalised Lipschitz classes of functions, and we give their constructive characteristics.…

The $\alpha$-Weierstrass function is defined as $W_g^{\alpha,b}(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} b^{-\alpha k} g(b^k x)$, where $g$ is a Lipschitz function on the unit circle. For a prevalent $\alpha$-Weierstrass function, we prove that the upper…

We define the resultant of two power series with coefficients in the ring of integers of a $p$-adic field. In order to do this, we prove a universal version of the Weierstrass preparation theorem.

We take a unifying and new approach toward polynomial and trigonometric approximation in an arbitrary number of variables, resulting in a precise and general ready-to-use tool that anyone can easily apply in new situations of interest. The…

We give a new proof of a classical theorem on approximation of continuous functions on totally real sets

Let $(\tau_n)_n$ be a sequence of real numbers in $(1,+\infty)$. Using potential theoretic methods, we prove quantitative results - Bernstein-Walsh type theorems - about uniform approximation by polynomials of the form $\sum_{k=\lfloor…

By using a general formalism, we expose a simplified proof of the convergence of the B\'ezier polynomials attached to a continuous function defined in arbitrary dimensional simplex. We obtain an error estimate that contains the error in…

In this short note we have proved an enhanced version of a theorem of Lorentz [1] and its generalization to the multivariate case which gives a non- uniform estimate of degree of approximation by a polynomial with positive coefficients. The…

When dealing with concrete problems in a function space on R^n, it is sometimes helpful to have a dense subspace consisting of functions of a particular type, adapted to the problem under consideration. We give a theorem that allows one to…

We consider the approximation of a continuous function, defined on a compact set of the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space, by sums of two ridge functions. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for such a sum to be a best…

This article presents a general approximation-theoretic framework to analyze measure transport algorithms for probabilistic modeling. A primary motivating application for such algorithms is sampling -- a central task in statistical…

This paper studies the integration problem in differential fields that may involve quantities reminiscent of the Weierstrass $\wp$ function, which are defined by a first-order nonlinear differential equation. We extend the classical notion…

We introduce the notion of an approximation system as a generalization of Taylor approximation, and we give some first examples. Next we develop the general theory, including error bounds and a sufficient criterion for convergence. More…

We develop an approximation theory in Hilbert spaces that generalizes the classical theory of approximation by entire functions of exponential type. The results advance harmonic analysis on manifolds and graphs, thus facilitating data…
