Lipschitz continuity of the best approximation operator in vector-valued Chebyshev approximation

When G is a finite dimensional Haar subspace of C(X,R^k), the vector-valued continuous functions (including complex-valued functions when k is 2) from a finite set X to Euclidean k-dimensional space, it is well-known that at any function f in C(X,R^k) the best approximation operator satisfies the strong unicity condition of order 2 and a Lipschitz (Hőlder) condition of order . This note shows that in fact the best approximation operator satisfies the usual Lipschitz condition of order 1.     

The strong derivative of the best approximation operator

ABSTRACT

This article is devoted to the derivation of sampling series associated with eigenvalue problems. No examples of sampling theorems associated with odd order problems are known except when the order is one. Here we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the boundary conditions to be self adjoint. Then sampling series associated with odd order self adjoint and non self adjoint problems are given. The sampling representations associated with non self adjoint odd order problems are derived provided that the boundary condition are regular.     

Common fixed-points for Banach operator pairs in best approximation

The notion of Banach operator pairs is introduced, as a new class of noncommuting maps. Some common fixed-point theorems for Banach operator pairs and the existence of the common fixed-points of best approximation are presented. These results are proved without the assumption of linearity or affinity for either f or g, which shows that the concept about Banach operator pairs is potentially useful in the study of common fixed-points.     

Lipschitz continuity and Gateaux differentiability of the best approximation operator in vector-valued Chebyshev approximation

When G is a finite-dimensional Haar subspace of C(X,R^k), the vector-valued functions (including complex-valued functions when k is 2) from a finite set X to Euclidean k-dimensional space, it is well-known that at any function f in C(X,R^k) the best approximation operator satisfies the strong unicity condition of order 2 and a Lipschitz (Hőlder) condition of order . This note shows that in fact the best approximation operator satisfies the usual Lipschitz condition of order 1 and has a Gateaux derivative on a dense set of functions in C(X,R^k).     

An 12 constrained best approximation problem

A problem of minimizing a quadratic function over the unit ball of l₂is considered,the motivation being a minimum norm problem for the heat equation controlled by the constrained initial condition. A constructive method for finding an ?-solution is developed and its convergence rate is estimated. The dependence of the solution, on the data is studied.

On the modulus of continuity of an operator of best approximation

In this paper we characterize spaces with an operator of best approximation uniformly continuous on a class of subspaces.     

On the best approximation of the differentiation operator on the half-line

We solve a problem of S. B. Stechkin concerning the best approximation in the metric of C to the operator of k-th order differentiation on certain classes of differentiable functions defined on the half-line, by linear operators whose norms from L₂ into C are bounded. We consider the analogous problem for linear differential operators with constant coefficients. The bibliography contains 10 items.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 6, No. 5, pp. 573–582, November, 1969.     

Asymptotic centers and best compact approximation of operators intoC(K)

The existence of best compact approximations for all bounded linear operators fromX intoC(K) is related to the behavior of asymptotic centers inX ^*. IfK is just one convergent sequence, the condition is that everyω ^*-convergent sequence inX ^* will have an asymptotic center. We first study this property, solving some open problems in the theory of asymptotic centers. IfK is more “complex,” the asymptotic centers should behave “continuously.” We use this observation to construct operators fromC[0,1] intoC(ω ²) and from ?₁ intoL ₁ without best compact approximation. We also construct spacesX ₁,X ₂, isomorphic to a Hilbert space, and operatorsT ₁,∶X ₁→C(ω ²),T ₂∶?₁→X ₂ without best compact approximations.     

An approximation theorem for nuclear operator systems

We prove that an operator system S is nuclear in the category of operator systems if and only if there exist nets of unital completely positive maps φλ:S→Mnλ and ψλ:Mnλ→S such that ψλ°φλ converges to idS in the point-norm topology. Our proof is independent of the Choi-Effros-Kirchberg characterization of nuclear C^?-algebras and yields this characterization as a corollary. We give an explicit example of a nuclear operator system that is not completely order isomorphic to a unital C^?-algebra.     

The best approximation of the differentiation operator in the metric of Lp

For Stechkin's problem of the best approximation for the differentiation operator we indicate the necessary and sufficient conditions that E_n be finite. We study some properties of continuous linear operators V from L_p into L_q.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 12, No. 5, pp. 531–538, November, 1972.     

Lipschitz condition for the operator of best uniform approximation at points of uniqueness

The operator of best uniform approximation of real, continuous functions by elements of a finite space is considered. It is shown that the Lipschitz condition for the operator of best approximation by generalized polynomials is satisfied for each function having a characteristic set of maximal dimension.Translated from Matematicheskie Metody i Fiziko-Mekhanicheskie Polya, No. 25, pp. 17–19, 1987.     

Some common fixed point theorems for Banach operator pairs with applications in best approximation

The ordered pair (T,I) of two self-maps of a metric space (X,d) is called a Banach operator pair if the set F(I) of fixed points of I is T-invariant i.e. T(F(I))⊆F(I). Some common fixed point theorems for a Banach operator pair and the existence of common fixed points of best approximation are presented in this paper. The results prove, generalize and extend some results of Al-Thagafi [M.A. Al-Thagafi, Common fixed points and best approximation, J. Approx. Theory 85 (1996) 318-323], Carbone [A.
