Rational Chebyshev approximation to certain entire functions of zero order on the positive real axis. II

CHEBYSHEV RATIONAL APPROXIMATION TO ENTIRE FUNCTIONS IN [ 0 , oc ]

Introduction : Quite recently Chebyshev rational approximation to certain entire functions on the whole positive axis has attracted the attention of many mathematicians. In this respect the papers ([3-7, 9]) are worth mentioning. All these papers have been devoted only to entire functions of finite order. On the other hand, methods developed and used in these papers are valid only to entire fun...

Rational Approximation on the Positive Real Axis

Introduction Rational Chebyshev approximation to reciprocals of certain entire functions by reciprocals of polynomials on the positive real axis has recently attracted the attention of many mathematicians . By developing certain new methods of approach we successfully attacked ([3]-[6]) some of the related problems . This paper is a continuation of our earlier papers ([3]-[6] ) . The results of...

Real VS. Complex Rational Chebyshev Approximation on an Interval

I f f E C[-I, I] is real-valued, let Er( f ) and E'( f ) be the errors in best approximation to f in the supremum norm by rational functions of type ( m , n ) with real and complex coefficients, respectively. It has recently been observed that E'( f ) < Er( f ) can occur for any n > 1, but for no n 1 is it known whether y,,,, = inf, E'( f ) / E r ( f ) is zero or strictly positive. Here we show...
