On uniform approximation by rational functions

Rates of Best Uniform Rational Approximation of Analytic Functions by Ray Sequences of Rational Functions

In this paper, problems related to the approximation of a holomorphic function f on a compact subset E of the complex plane C by rational functions from the class Rn,m of all rational functions of order (n,m) are considered. Let ρn,m = ρn,m( f ; E) be the distance of f in the uniform metric on E from the class Rn,m . We obtain results characterizing the rate of convergence to zero of the sequen...

The best uniform polynomial approximation of two classes of rational functions

In this paper we obtain the explicit form of the best uniform polynomial approximations out of Pn of two classes of rational functions using properties of Chebyshev polynomials. In this way we present some new theorems and lemmas. Some examples will be given to support the results.

Approximation by Rational Functions

Making use of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function, we give a new proof of the following theorem of Pekarski: If f' is in L log L on a finite interval, then f can be approximated in the uniform norm by rational functions of degree n to an error 0(1/n) on that interval. It is well known that approximation by rational functions of degree n can produce a dramatically smaller error than that for p...

A Note on Approximation by Rational Functions

The theory of the approximation by rational functions on point sets E of the js-plane (z = x+iy) has been summarized by J. L. Walsh who himself has proved a great number of important theorems some of which are fundamental. The results concern both the case when E is bounded and when E extends to infinity. In the present note a Z^-theory (0<p< oo) will be given for the following point sets exten...
