Exact order of pointwise estimates for polynomial approximation with Hermite interpolation J. Approx. Theory (IF 0.825) Pub Date : 2021-01-13 K.A. Kopotun; D. Leviatan; I.A. Shevchuk
We establish best possible pointwise (up to a constant multiple) estimates for approximation, on a finite interval, by polynomials that satisfy finitely many (Hermite) interpolation conditions, and show that these estimates cannot be improved. In particular, we show that any algebraic polynomial of degree n approximating a function f∈Cr(I), I=[−1,1], at the classical pointwise rate c(k,r)ρnr(x)ωk(f(r)

On modular approximants in sequential convergence spaces J. Approx. Theory (IF 0.825) Pub Date : 2021-01-05 Wojciech M. (Walter) Kozlowski
Let Xρ be a modulated convergence space, that is, a modular space equipped with a sequential convergence structure. Given an element x of Xρ, we consider the minimisation problem of finding x0∈C such that ρ(x−xo)=inf{ρ(x−y):y∈C}, where ρ is a convex modular and C is a closed convex subset of Xρ. Such an element x0 is called a best approximant. We prove existence and uniqueness of such a best approximant

The matching condition for larger size Riemann–Hilbert problems J. Approx. Theory (IF 0.825) Pub Date : 2021-01-05 L.D. Molag
In a larger size Riemann–Hilbert problem matching the local parametrices with the global parametrix is often a major technical issue. In this article we present a result that should tackle this problem in natural situations. We prove that, in a general setting, it is possible to obtain a double matching, that is, a matching condition on two circles instead of one circle. We discuss how this matching

A novel class of stabilized greedy kernel approximation algorithms: Convergence, stability and uniform point distribution J. Approx. Theory (IF 0.825) Pub Date : 2020-12-02 Tizian Wenzel; Gabriele Santin; Bernard Haasdonk
Kernel based methods provide a way to reconstruct potentially high-dimensional functions from meshfree samples, i.e., sampling points and corresponding target values. A crucial ingredient for this to be successful is the distribution of the sampling points. Since the computation of an optimal selection of sampling points may be an infeasible task, one promising option is to use greedy methods. Although

Asymptotic behavior of orthogonal polynomials. Singular critical case J. Approx. Theory (IF 0.825) Pub Date : 2020-11-02 D.R. Yafaev
Our goal is to find an asymptotic behavior as n→∞ of the orthogonal polynomials Pn(z) defined by Jacobi recurrence coefficients an (off-diagonal terms) and bn (diagonal terms). We consider the case an→∞, bn→∞ in such a way that ∑an−1<∞ (that is, the Carleman condition is violated) and γn:=2−1bn(anan−1)−1∕2→γ as n→∞. In the case |γ|≠1 asymptotic formulas for Pn(z) are known; they depend crucially on

We investigate two types of boundedness criteria for bilinear Fourier multiplier operators with symbols with bounded partial derivatives of all (or sufficiently many) orders. Theorems of the first type explicitly prescribe only a certain rate of decay of the symbol itself while theorems of the second type require, in addition, the same rate of decay of all derivatives of the symbol. We show that even

Let L1,L2,…,LK be a family of closed subspaces of a Hilbert space H, L1∩⋯∩LK={0}; let Pk be the orthogonal projection onto Lk. We consider two types of consecutive projections of an element x0∈H: alternating projections Tnx0, where T=PK∘⋯∘P1, and remotest projections xn defined recursively, xn+1 being the remotest point for xn among P1xn,…,PKxn. These xn can be interpreted as residuals in greedy approximation

We prove a lower bound on the spacing of zeros of paraorthogonal polynomials on the unit circle, based on continuity of the underlying measure as measured by Hausdorff dimensions. We complement this with the analog of the result from Breuer (2011) showing that clock spacing holds even for certain singular continuous measures.

Results on two different settings of asymptotic behavior of approximation characteristics of individual functions are presented.

Learning non-linear systems from noisy, limited, and/or dependent data is an important task across various scientific fields including statistics, engineering, computer science, mathematics, and many more. In general, this learning task is ill-posed; however, additional information about the data’s structure or on the behavior of the unknown function can make the task well-posed. In this work, we study

This paper considers the problem of approximating the spectral factor of continuous spectral densities with finite Dirichlet energy based on finitely many samples of these spectral densities.

These “solutions to a boundary problem” are not unique. In fact they can be required to have interpolating properties and also to assume

In this paper we prove that if a multivariate function of a certain smoothness class is represented by a sum of k arbitrarily behaved ridge functions, then it can be represented by a sum of k ridge functions of the same smoothness class and a polynomial of degree at most k−1. This solves the problem posed by A. Pinkus in his monograph “Ridge Functions” up to a multivariate polynomial.

For weighted L2 spaces with doubling weights w on [−1,1] and norms ‖⋅‖2,w, the Markov factor on a polynomial P is defined by ‖P′‖2,w‖P‖2,w.

On the volume of unit balls of finite-dimensional Lorentz spaces J. Approx. Theory (IF 0.825) Pub Date : 2020-03-14 Anna Doležalová, Jan Vybíral
We study the volume of unit balls Bp,qn of finite-dimensional Lorentz sequence spaces ℓp,qn. We give an iterative formula for vol(Bp,qn) for the weak Lebesgue spaces with q=∞ and explicit formulas for q=1 and q=∞. We derive asymptotic results for the nth root of vol(Bp,qn) and show that [vol(Bp,qn)]1∕n≍p,qn−1∕p for all 0

Bivariate semialgebraic splines J. Approx. Theory (IF 0.825) Pub Date : 2020-03-07 Michael DiPasquale, Frank Sottile
Semialgebraic splines are bivariate splines over meshes whose edges are arcs of algebraic curves. They were first considered by Wang, Chui, and Stiller. We compute the dimension of the space of semialgebraic splines in two extreme cases. If the polynomials defining the edges span a three-dimensional space of polynomials, then we compute the dimensions from the dimensions for a corresponding rectilinear
