Weighted Polynomial Approximation for Weights with Slowly Varying Extremal Density

Polynomial approximation by weighted polynomials of the form wⁿ(x) P_n(x) is investigated on closed subsets of the real line. It is known that the possibility of approximation is closely related to the density of an extremal measure associated with w via a weighted energy problem. It is also known that if in a neighborhood of a point x₀ this density is continuous and positive, then, in that neighborhood, any continuous function can be approximated. The aim of the present paper is twofold. On the one hand it is shown that the same approximation theorem is true if in a neighborhood of x₀ the density is slowly varying and is bounded away from 0. This allows singularities of logarithmic types. On the other hand, we also show that under some mild conditions, if the density at x₀ is slowly varying, then approximation is still possible even if the density vanishes at x₀ . This is the first positive result for approximation with a vanishing density.

Weighted Polynomial Approximation in the Complex Plane

Given a pair (G,W) of an open bounded set G in the complex plane and a weight function W(z) which is analytic and different from zero in G , we consider the problem of the locally uniform approximation of any function f(z) , which is analytic in G , by weighted polynomials of the form {W ⁿ (z)P _n (z) } ^$\infinity$ _n=0 , where deg P_n n. The main result of this paper is a necessary and sufficient condition for such an approximation to be valid. We also consider a number of applications of this result to various classical weights, which give explicit criteria for these weighted approximations. May 1, 1996.

Weighted Polynomial Approximation for Convex External Fields

It is proven that if Q is convex and w(x)= exp(-Q(x)) is the corresponding weight, then every continuous function that vanishes outside the support of the extremal measure associated with w can be uniformly approximated by weighted polynomials of the form w ⁿ P _n . This solves a problem of P. Borwein and E. B. Saff. Actually, a similar result is true locally for any parts of the extremal support where Q is convex. February 10, 1998. Date revised: July 23, 1998.

On Weighted Approximation by Modified Bernstein Operators for Functions with Singularities

Della Vecchia et al. （see [2]） introduced a kind of modified Bernstein operators which can be used to approximate functions with singularities at endpoints on [0,1]. In the present paper, we obtain a kind of pointwise Stechkin-type inequalities for weighted approximation by the modified Bemsetin operators.

Simultaneous Polynomial Approximation in the Weighted Chebyshev Norm

Simultaneous approximation means that a given sufficiently smooth function g:[-1, 1] and its derivatives up to order q are approximated by a single polynomial p and its derivatives. This paper deals with new error estimates (in a weighted norm with explicit constants) and corresponding algorithms in the most interesting cases q = 1 and q = 2. The described method is based on the close relationship between algebraic and trigonometric polynomial approximation.

Measure Theoretic Results for Approximation by Neural Networks with Limited Weights

In this article, we study approximation properties of single hidden layer neural networks with weights varying in finitely many directions and with thresholds from an open interval. We obtain a necessary and simultaneously su?cient measure theoretic condition for density of such networks in the space of continuous functions. Further, we prove a density result for neural networks with a specifically constructed activation function and a fixed number of neurons.

Polynomial Approximation and Interpolation on the Real Line with Respect to General Classes of Weights

Results on weighted polynomial approximation and interpolation with respect to Freud weights are extended to a more general class of weights. Among others, weights having zeros (Freud-Jacobi type weights) are considered, and a system of nodes is constructed for which the weighted Lebesgue constant of Lagrange interpolation is of optimal order.     

Best Approximation in an Asymmetrically Weighted L1 Measure

Let f(x) be a given, real-valued, continuous function definedon an interval [a,b]of the real line. Given a set of m real-valued,continuous functions _j(x) defined on [a,b], a linear approximatingfunction can be formed with any real setA = {a₁, a₂,..., a_m}. We present results for determining A sothat F(A, x) is a best approximation to(x) when the measureof goodness of approximation is a weighted sum of |F(A, x)–f(x)|,the weights being positive constants, w, when F(A, x) f(x)and w2 otherwise (when w, = w2 = 1, the measure is the L₁, norm).The results are derived from a linear programming formulationof the problem. In particular, we give a theorem which shows when such bestapproximations interpolate the function at fixed ordinates whichare independent of f(x). We show how the fixed points can becalculated and we present numerical results to indicate thatthe theorem is quite robust.     

Extremal Problems in Logarithmic Potential Theory

We pose and solve an extremal problem of logarithmic potential theory that is dual to the main minimum problem in the theory of interior capacities of condensers but, in contrast to the latter, it is solvable even in the case of a nonclosed condenser. Its solution is a natural generalization of the classical notion of interior equilibrium measure of a set. A condenser is treated as a finite collection of signed sets such that the closures of sets with opposite signs are pairwise disjoint. We also prove several assertions on the continuity of extremals.     

Jacobi Polynomials,Weighted Sobolev Spaces and Approximation Results of Some Singularities

In this paper, we give some polynomial approximation results in a class of weighted Sobolev spaces, which are related to the Jacobi operator. We further give some embeddings of those weighted Sobolev spaces into usual ones and into spaces of continuous functions, in order to use the above approximation results in the p‐version (or the spectral method) of some finite or boundary element methods. Finally, two typical examples of the polynomial approximation of some singularities of boundary value problems in polygonal or polyhedral domains are presented.     

Rational Approximation with Varying Weights III

Approximation by weighted rationals of the form wⁿr_n, where r_n=p_n/q_n, p_n and q_n are polynomials of degree at most [αn] and [βn], respectively, and w is an admissible weight, is investigated on compact subsets of the real line for a general class of weights and given α0, β0, with α+β>0. Conditions that characterize the largest sets on which such approximation is possible are given. We apply the general theorems to Laguerre and Freud weights.
