Abstract:For the given data (w i , x i , y i ), i = 1, . . . , M, we consider the problem of existence of the best discrete approximation in l p norm (1 ≤ p < ∞) by reciprocals of real polynomials. For this problem, the existence of best approximations is not always guaranteed. In this paper, we give a condition on data which is necessary and sufficient for the existence of the best approximation in l p norm. This condition is theoretical in nature. We apply it to obtain several other existence theorems very useful in … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
