Copositive approximation of periodic functions

Let f be a real continuous 2π-periodic function changing its sign in the fixed distinct points y _i ∈ Y:= {y _i } _i∈ℤ such that for x ∈ [y _i , y _i−1], f(x) ≧ 0 if i is odd and f(x) ≦ 0 if i is even. Then for each n ≧ N(Y) we construct a trigonometric polynomial P _n of order ≦ n, changing its sign at the same points y _i ∈ Y as f, and

On best rational approximation of analytic functions

This paper contains some theorems related to the best approximation ρ_n(f;E) to a function f in the uniform metric on a compact set by rational functions of degree at most n. We obtain results characterizing the relationship between ρ_n(f;K) and ρ_n(f;E) in the case when complements of compact sets K and E are connected, K is a subset of the interior Ω of E, and f is analytic in Ω and continuous on E.     

Weak Copositive and Intertwining Approximation

It is known that shape preserving approximation has lower rates than unconstrained approximation. This is especially true for copositive and intertwining approximations. ForfL_p, 1p<∞, the former only has rateω(f, n⁻¹)_p, and the latter cannot even be bounded byC f_p. In this paper, we discuss various ways to relax the restrictions in these approximations and conclude that the most sensible way is the so-calledalmostcopositive/intertwining approximation in which one relaxes the restriction on the approximants in a neighborhood of radiusΔ_n(y_j) of each sign changey_j.     

A method for rational Chebyshev approximation of rational functions on the unit disk and on the unit interval

A method for construction of CF approximants in some cases of rational approximation of a rational function f on the unit disk and on the unit interval is presented. The inverted square root of the greatest positive eigenvalue and a corresponding eigenvector of an eigenvalue problem defined by the coefficients of f gives the solution.     

On the orthogonal rational functions with arbitrary poles and interpolation properties

Let = z_n,mm=1ⁿ with |z_n,m| < 1, n = 1,2,…, be an arbitrary sequence of complex numbers. We generalize the orthogonal rational functions with poles at . We study the weak convergence and the interpolation properties of the orthogonal rational functions.     

On Copositive Approximation in Spaces of Continuous Functions I:The Alternation Property of Copositive Approximation

In this paper the author writes a simple characterization for the best copositive approximation to elements of C(Q) by elements of finite dimensional strict Chebyshev subspaces of C(Q) in the case when Q is any compact subset of real numbers. At the end of the paper the author applies this result for different classes of Q.     

On Copositive Approximation in Spaces of Continuous Functions Ⅱ:The Uniqueness of Best Copositive Approximation

This paper is part Ⅱ of "On Copositive Approximation in Spaces of Continuous Functions". In this paper, the author shows that if Q is any compact subset of real numbers, and M is any finite dimensional strict Chebyshev subspace of C(Q), then for any admissible function f ∈C(Q)\M, the best copositive approximation to f from M is unique.     

Optimal uniform approximation on angles by entire functions

The paper discusses the best or optimal uniform approximation problem by entire functions on a closed angle Δ. This problem has been studied by M.V. Keldysch in [4], under the assumption that the functions ? subject to approximation are holomorphic in a larger angle containing Δ and there is no restriction on the growth of ? at infinity. In [8], the problem was investigated for a wider class of functions ? continuously complex differentiable on Δ, with sharper estimates on the growth of approximating entire functions, linked with the growth of ? on Δ and the differential properties of ? on the boundary of Δ. In this paper, we improve some of the results on entire approximation on angles, using new approximation ideas partially presented in [9] and [10].

An improved estimate of PSWF approximation and approximation by Mathieu functions

In this paper, an error estimate of spectral approximations by prolate spheroidal wave functions (PSWFs) with explicit dependence on the bandwidth parameter and optimal order of convergence is derived, which improves the existing result in [Chen et al., Spectral methods based on prolate spheroidal wave functions for hyperbolic PDEs, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 43 (5) (2005) 1912-1933]. The underlying argument is applied to analyze spectral approximations of periodic functions by Mathieu functions, which leads to new estimates featured with explicit dependence on the intrinsic parameter.     

Korovkin-type approximation in spaces of vector-valued and set-valued functions

We consider some Korovkin-type approximation results for sequences of linear continuous operators in spaces of vector-valued and set-valued continuous functions without assuming the existence of the limit operator. Even in spaces of real continuous functions, where similar results have already been established, we replace the positivity assumption with a weaker condition. We also give some quantitative estimate of the convergence and some applications where previous results cannot be applied.

Legendre rational approximation on the whole line

The Legendre rational approximation is investigated. Some approximation results are established, which form the mathematical foundation of a new spectral method on the whole line. A model problem is considered. Numerical results show the efficiency of this new approach.     

Differential inequalities for entire functions of finite degree and rational functions with prescribed poles

We establish new differential inequalities for the entire functions of finite degree with a majorant an entire function without zeros in the lower half-plane, for the entire functions with constraints on zeros and, as a consequence, for the rational functions with prescribed poles. All cases of equality in the main results are found. The estimates obtained generalize and strengthen some inequalities by Bernstein, Gardner, and Govil for entire functions of finite degree; by Smirnov, Aziz, and Shah for algebraic polynomials; and by Borwein and Erdelyi, Aziz and Shah, and the others for rational functions.     

Cyclic AFD algorithm for the best rational approximation

We propose a practical algorithm of best rational approximation of a given order to a function in the Hardy H² space on the unit circle and on the real line. The type of approximation is proved to be equivalent with Blaschke form approximation. The algorithm is called Cyclic adaptive Fourier decomposition as it adaptively selects one parameter for each cycle on the basis of the maximal selection principle proved in the literature of adaptive Fourier decomposition.
