Global Smoothness and Shape Preserving Interpolation by Classical Operators

From the reviews:

"One of the main features of the book is the systematic treatment of both the univariate case in the first two chapters and the bivariate case in the last two chapters.... Many results have been obtained by the author himself in collaboration with other mathematicians.... Every chapter ends with some bibliographical remarks and a discussion of open problems, which may be very helpful for researchers and specialists in the fields of approximation theory and numerical analysis." ―Mathematical Reviews

"Many of the presented results are published in this monograph for the first time.... This book is written for researchers in approximation theory, and it contains a large number of results, presented in a concise way." ―SIAM Book Reviews

“This research monograph is a systematic treatment of the global smoothness preservation and the shape preservation properties for classical univariate and bivariate interpolation operators of Lagrange, Grünwald, Hermite-Fejér and Shepard type. Written in a clear and concise style, with numerous open problems supplementing each chapter and up to date references, this book constitutes a valuable tool for graduate students and researchers in approximation theory and its applications.”(ZENTRALBLATT MATH)
