\(L^2\)-approximations of power and logarithmic functions with applications to numerical conformal mapping (Q1601754)

Let \(G\) be a region bounded by a quasiconformal curve \(L\) without cusps and let \((z-\tau)^\beta\) be of the form \(\beta> -1\) and \(\tau\in L\). The authors study the rate of approximation of such functions by polynomials as well as of \((z-\tau)^\beta [\log(z- \tau)]\)? A generalized Andrievski lemma is also proved and used. Consequences are also proved in the area of generalized Bieberbach polynomials.
