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...

In this paper, the problem of best uniform polynomial approximation to a continuous function on a compact set X is approached through the partitioning of X and the definition of norms corresponding to the partition and each of the standard Lp norms 1 g p < oo. For computational convenience, a pseudo norm is defined corresponding to each partition. When the partition is chosen appropriately, the...
