Abstract

Consider the following approximation problem of a continuous function of three variables by the sum of three continuous functions of one variable: E(f,Ω)=inff(x,y,z)ϕ(x)ψ(y)ω(z)=? E(f,\Omega)=\inf||f(x,y,z)-\phi(x)-\psi(y)-\omega(z)||_{\infty}=? where f(x,y,z)f(x,y,z) is a given continuous function defined on Ω=[0,1]3\Omega=[0,1]^3 and the infimum runs over all triplets of continuous functions ϕ(x),ψ(y),ω(z)\phi(x),\psi(y),\omega(z) defined on the unit interval [0,1][0,1]. In this paper, we will prove a formula to calculate the error E(f,Ω)E(f,\Omega) under certain conditions.
