We survey developments, over the last thirty years, in the theory of Shape Preserving Approximation (SPA) by algebraic polynomials on a finite interval. In this article, “shape” refers to (finitely many changes of) monotonicity, convexity, or q-monotonicity of a function. It is rather well known that it is possible to approximate a function by algebraic polynomials that preserve its shape (i.e....

Fuzzy best simultaneous approximation of a finite number of functions is considered. For this purpose, a fuzzy norm on $Cleft (X, Y right )$ and its fuzzy dual space and also the  set of subgradients of a fuzzy norm are introduced. Necessary case of a proved theorem about characterization of simultaneous approximation will be extended to the fuzzy case.

In this paper we present a new semilocal convergence theorem from data at one point for the Weierstrass iterative method for the simultaneous computation of polynomial zeros. The main result generalizes and improves all previous ones in this area.

We obtain the degree of approximation of functions belonging to class Lip(ψ(u,v);p), p > 1 using the Gauss Weierstrass integral of the double Fourier series of f(x,y).
