Sinopsis

In the last 30 years, Approximation Theory has undergone wonderful develop­ ment, with many new theories appearing in this short interval. This book has its origin in the wish to adequately describe this development, in particular, to rewrite the short 1966 book of G. G. Lorentz, "Approximation of Functions." Soon after 1980, R. A. DeVore and Lorentz joined forces for this purpose. The outcome has been their "Constructive Approximation" (1993), volume 303 of this series. References to this book are given as, for example rCA, p.201]. Later, M. v. Golitschek and Y. Makovoz joined Lorentz to produce the present book, as a continuation of the first. Completeness has not been our goal. In some of the theories, our exposition offers a selection of important, representative theorems, some other cases are treated more systematically. As in the first book, we treat only approximation of functions of one real variable. Thus, functions of several variables, complex approximation or interpolation are not treated, although complex variable methods appear often.

Reseña del editor

This and the earlier book by R.A. DeVore and G.G. Lorentz (Vol. 303 of the same series), cover the whole field of approximation of functions of one real variable. The main subject of this volume is approximation by polynomials, rational functions, splines and operators. There are excursions into the related fields: interpolation, complex variable approximation, wavelets, widths, and functional analysis. Emphasis is on basic results, illustrative examples, rather than on generality or special problems. A graduate student can learn the subject from different chapters of the books; for a researcher they can serve as an introduction; for applied researchers a selection of tools for their endeavours.
