Simultaneous approximation and interpolation of increasing functions by increasing entire functions (Q2518774)

Simultaneous approximation and interpolation of increasing functions by increasing entire functions is studied. The author proves that under suitable assumptions, an isomorphism \(g\) of dense subsets \(A, B\) of the real line can be taken to approximate a given increasing \(C^n\) surjection \(f\) with the derivatives of \(g\) agreeing with those of \(f\) on a closed discrete set. Thus a version for increasing functions of a theorem of \textit{L. Hoischen} [see, J. Approximation Theory 15, 116-123 (1975; Zbl 0318.30034)] is provided. An extension of the main result of the author in (M. R. Burke, Trans. Am. Math. Soc. In press) is also given.
