Description
The book incorporates research papers and surveys written by
participants ofan International Scientific Programme on
Approximation Theory jointly supervised by Institute for
Constructive Mathematics of University of South Florida at
Tampa, USA and the Euler International Mathematical
Instituteat St. Petersburg, Russia. The aim of the
Programme was to present new developments in Constructive
Approximation Theory. The topics of the papers are:
asymptotic behaviour of orthogonal polynomials, rational
approximation of classical functions, quadrature formulas,
theory of n-widths, nonlinear approximation in Hardy
algebras,numerical results on best polynomial
approximations, wavelet analysis.
