Book Description
This 1987 book examines the approximation of real functions by real rational functions. These are a more convenient tool than polynomials, and interest in them was growing, especially after D. Newman's work in the mid-sixties. The authors present the basic achievements of the subject and also discuss some topics from complex rational approximation.

Rational Approximation of Arbitrary Real Functions with Specified Weights
Author: Tao-Nan Tang
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Approximation theory
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
The problem of obtaining the Tchebysheff approximation of a real continuous function in a closed interval by a polynomial or a rational function under a specified weighting function is treated. Solutions of such problems are obtained by numerical methods involving iterative procedures which may be carried out by modern computing machines. The effect of shifting a zero or several zeros of an error function on the weighted error function itself is obtained by multiplying the amount of shift by the sensitivity, defined as the partial derivative of the weighted error function with respect to the zero shifted. Various techniques are used to equalize (and hence minimize) the extrema of the weighted error. The knowledge of the zero shifting effect on the weighted error is used to determine the amount of shifts in different cases. The successive equalization of the weighted error function at the points of extrema gives an iterative procedure with assured convergence of the process. In the case of polynomial approximation, this method yields a set of linear simultaneous equations to be solved in each cycle. In the case of rational function approximation, it results in a set of non-linear simultaneous equations which can be solved by certain special techniques. Special cases such as the approximation with equal-ripple relative error and an approximating polynomial with specified cutoff slope are investigated.

Theory of Approximation of Functions of a Real Variable
Author: A. F. Timan
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483184811
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 644
Book Description
Theory of Approximation of Functions of a Real Variable discusses a number of fundamental parts of the modern theory of approximation of functions of a real variable. The material is grouped around the problem of the connection between the best approximation of functions to their structural properties. This text is composed of eight chapters that highlight the relationship between the various structural properties of real functions and the character of possible approximations to them by polynomials and other functions of simple construction. Each chapter concludes with a section containing various problems and theorems, which supplement the main text. The first chapters tackle the Weierstrass's theorem, the best approximation by polynomials on a finite segment, and some compact classes of functions and their structural properties. The subsequent chapters describe some properties of algebraic polynomials and transcendental integral functions of exponential type, as well as the direct theorems of the constructive theory of functions. These topics are followed by discussions of differential and constructive characteristics of converse theorems. The final chapters explore other theorems connecting the best approximations functions with their structural properties. These chapters also deal with the linear processes of approximation of functions by polynomials. The book is intended for post-graduate students and for mathematical students taking advanced courses, as well as to workers in the field of the theory of functions.

Approximation Theory and Approximation Practice, Extended Edition
Author: Lloyd N. Trefethen
Publisher: SIAM
ISBN: 1611975948
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
This is a textbook on classical polynomial and rational approximation theory for the twenty-first century. Aimed at advanced undergraduates and graduate students across all of applied mathematics, it uses MATLAB to teach the fields most important ideas and results. Approximation Theory and Approximation Practice, Extended Edition differs fundamentally from other works on approximation theory in a number of ways: its emphasis is on topics close to numerical algorithms; concepts are illustrated with Chebfun; and each chapter is a PUBLISHable MATLAB M-file, available online. The book centers on theorems and methods for analytic functions, which appear so often in applications, rather than on functions at the edge of discontinuity with their seductive theoretical challenges. Original sources are cited rather than textbooks, and each item in the bibliography is accompanied by an editorial comment. In addition, each chapter has a collection of exercises, which span a wide range from mathematical theory to Chebfun-based numerical experimentation. This textbook is appropriate for advanced undergraduate or graduate students who have an understanding of numerical analysis and complex analysis. It is also appropriate for seasoned mathematicians who use MATLAB.

Approximation of Functions
Author: G. G. Lorentz
Publisher: American Mathematical Society
ISBN: 1470474948
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
This is an easily accessible account of the approximation of functions. It is simple and without unnecessary details, but complete enough to include the classical results of the theory. With only a few exceptions, only functions of one real variable are considered. A major theme is the degree of uniform approximation by linear sets of functions. This encompasses approximations by trigonometric polynomials, algebraic polynomials, rational functions, and polynomial operators. The chapter on approximation by operators does not assume extensive knowledge of functional analysis. Two chapters cover the important topics of widths and entropy. The last chapter covers the solution by Kolmogorov and Arnol?d of Hilbert's 13th problem. There are notes at the end of each chapter that give information about important topics not treated in the main text. Each chapter also has a short set of challenging problems, which serve as illustrations.

Interpolation and Approximation by Rational Functions in the Complex Domain
Author: J. L. Walsh
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821810200
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
The present work is restricted to the representation of functions in the complex domain, particularly analytic functions, by sequences of polynomials or of more general rational functions whose poles are preassigned, the sequences being defined either by interpolation or by extremal properties (i.e. best approximation). Taylor's series plays a central role in this entire study, for it has properties of both interpolation and best approximation, and serves as a guide throughout the whole treatise. Indeed, almost every result given on the representation of functions is concerned with a generalization either of Taylor's series or of some property of Taylor's series--the title ``Generalizations of Taylor's Series'' would be appropriate.
