Let f be analytic on the compact set E ⊂ C , of positive transfinite diameter and let Cr denote the largest equipotential curve of E such that f is analytic within Cr. Generally, the growth of an entire function is measured in terms of its order and type. Here we have established the relations between maximum modulus, maximum term and interpolation error of best uniform approximation to a funct...

The small object argument is a transfinite construction which, starting from a set of maps in a category, generates a weak factorisation system on that category. As useful as it is, the small object argument has some problematic aspects: it possesses no universal property; it does not converge; and it does not seem to be related to other transfinite constructions occurring in categorical algebr...

We study the relationship between transfinite diameter, Chebyshev constant and Wiener energy in the abstract linear potential analytic setting pioneered by Choquet, Fuglede and Ohtsuka. It turns out that, whenever the potential theoretic kernel has the maximum principle, then all these quantities are equal for all compact sets. For continuous kernels even the converse statement is true: if the ...

This paper is a contribution to the area of metapredicative proof theory. It continues recent investigations on the transfinitely iterated fixed point theories ÎDα (cf. [10]) and addresses the question of autonomity in iterated fixed point theories. An external and an internal form of autonomous generation of transfinite hierarchies of fixed points of positive arithmetic operators are introduce...
