MATHEMATICS. POLYNOMIALS OF BEST APPROXIMATION ON A REAL FINITE POINT SET

Abstract

A statement, without proof, is made for polynomials of best approximation to a given function on a real finite point set, E. These are important in numerical computation where they have various properties in common, especially those relating to oscillation of the difference on E.
