Approximation by Rational Functions

Making use of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function, we give a new proof of the following theorem of Pekarski: If f' is in L log L on a finite interval, then f can be approximated in the uniform norm by rational functions of degree n to an error 0(1/n) on that interval. It is well known that approximation by rational functions of degree n can produce a dramatically smaller error than that for p...

A Note on Approximation by Rational Functions

The theory of the approximation by rational functions on point sets E of the js-plane (z = x+iy) has been summarized by J. L. Walsh who himself has proved a great number of important theorems some of which are fundamental. The results concern both the case when E is bounded and when E extends to infinity. In the present note a Z^-theory (0<p< oo) will be given for the following point sets exten...

'"vi* Dl-82-0538 MEAN-SQUARE APPROXIMATION BY GENERALIZED RATIONAL FUNCTIONS

The problem of numerical analysis to which this study is directed is that of determining an optimum approximation (in the least squares sense) to a given function f by a function of the form p/q, where p and q are confined to certain prescribed linear spaces. The analogous approximation problem employing the uniform norm has received much recent attention. See, for example, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9]. ...
