Some remarks to problems of approximation with prescribed rate

From MaRDI portal





In this interesting paper, the author obtains an extension of the well known duality principle in approximation theory, to take into account both the degree of approximation, and the size of the coefficients in the approximating functions. He considers an increasing sequence of finite dimensional spaces \(\{U_j\}^\infty_{j=1}\), in a Banach space \(X\). He considers rates of approximation specified by a decreasing sequence \(\{\rho_j \}^\infty_{j=1}\) of positive numbers with limit 0 and with bounds on the coefficients \(\{\lambda_j\}\) in the approximations \(\sum_j \lambda_j v_j \subseteq U_n\) specified by a sequence \(\{\delta_j\}\). Given \(f\in X\), he shows that we can find \(u_n\in U_n\), \(n\geq 1\), such that \(\|f-u_n \|=O (\rho_n)\), \(n\to\infty\) with the specified bounds on the coefficients in the approximation \(u_n\), iff linear functionals in the dual of \(X\) satisfy two bounds specified by the \(\{\delta_j\}\) and \(\{\lambda_j\}\). This is a corollary to his general duality principle. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0934.00031].
