Approximation Theory II,
Abstract
This book contains the proceedings of a Symposium on Approximation Theory which was held in Austin on January 18-21, 1976. The program of the symposium included seven one-hour invited expository lectures, more than forty one-half-hour invited research talks, and a large number of contributed fifteen minute talks. The expository papers describe recent developments in some important special fields. For example, D. Braess discusses nonlinear approximation, C. de Boor surveys the central role of B-splines in the general theory of splines, R. DeVore discusses the degree of approximation by polynomials, trigonometric polynomials, and splines, obtaining the results from a relation between the moduli of smoothness and Peetre's K-functionals, A. G. Vituskin has a new point of view upon entropy-he indicates its applications to coding, G. P. Nevai describes recent results (by himself, G. Freud and others) in the theory of convergence of interpolation formulas and of orthogonal polynomials, C. K. Chui surveys Pade approximations of arbitrary analytic functions, and L. L. Schumaker discusses fitting surfaces.
