Uniform approximation by discrete least squares polynomials (Q927692)

Citing the paper by \textit{L. Reichel} [BIT 26, 349--368 (1986; Zbl 0606.65008)] as perhaps the only exception the authors observe that the method of using discrete least squares approximation polynomials for differentiable or holomorphic functions does not seem to have attracted much attention from approximation theorists. The authors study here uniform approximation of differentiable or analytic functions of one or several variables on a compact set by a sequence of discrete least squares polynomials.
