Approximation by semi-non-linear functions (Q1083633): Difference between revisions

Here the author discusses at length the best Chebyshev approximation of continuous functions. Semi-non-linear functions which are nonlinear functions of linear functions defined in a general multivariate setting are used for this purpose. The concept of H-sets finds optimal application throughout. There is also an extension on work of Collatz to the functional approximation problems.
