On Constrained Uniform Approximation

On uniform approximation by splines

for 0 ≤ r ≤ k − 1. In particular, dist (f, S π) = O(|π| ) for f ∈ C(I), or, more generally, for f ∈ C(I), such, that f (k−1) satisfies a Lipschitz condition, a result proved earlier by different means [2]. These results are shown to be true even if I is permitted to become infinite and some of the knots are permitted to coalesce. The argument is based on a “local” interpolation scheme Pπ by spl...

Uniform Approximation on Riemann Surfaces

This thesis consists of three contributions to the theory of complex approximation on Riemann surfaces. It is known that if E is a closed subset of an open Riemann surface R and f is a holomorphic function on a neighbourhood of E, then it is “usually” not possible to approximate f uniformly by functions holomorphic on all of R. In Chapter 2, we show, however, that for every open Riemann surface...

Uniform and Non-uniform Bounds in Normal Approximation for Nonlinear Statistics

Let T be a general sampling statistic that can be written as a linear statistic plus an error term. Uniform and non-uniform Berry-Esseen type bounds for T are obtained. The bounds are best possible for many known statistics. Applications to U-statistic, multi-sample U-statistic, L-statistic, random sums, and functions of non-linear statistics are discussed.

Weierstrass and Uniform Approximation

We present the theorem of uniform approximation of continuous functions by polynomials in the Weierstrass framework for the construction of analysis based on the representation of functions by sums of power series and analytic functions, and his effort to bring new standards of rigor to analysis that accompanied his differences with Riemann. We also describe the most original proofs of the appr...
