Asymptotics in the Chebyshev-type optimization problem

Let $g(x)\colon [-2,2]\to \mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function. Let $f_n(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $n$ such that $\log |f_n(x)|\leqslant ng(x)$ for all $x\in [-2,2]$. Then the maximal possible ...

Approximation of $C^1$-smooth equivariant maps by infinitely smooth ones

Let $M,N$ be smooth closed manifolds acted by a finite group $G$. Let $f\colon M\to N$ be a $C^1$-smooth $G$-equivariant map. Is it true that for any $\varepsilon>0$ there exists a $C^\infty$-...

Feller semigroups and fractional operators

Have Feller semigroups been used to investigate the properties of the Cauchy problem associated with the fractional Laplacian (just like they have been used to study local degenerate second order ...

Asymptotics for the number of digits of the ratio of binomial coefficients

Let $a$ and $b$ be distinct positive real numbers. Let $(a_n)$ and $(b_n)$ be sequences of natural numbers such that $a_n\sim an$ and $b_n\sim bn$. All the limit relations here are for $n\to\infty$. ...

A representation of the Bernoulli numbers

Let \begin{equation} \ell_{m,p}:=\sum_{j=1}^m\gamma_{m,j}\sigma_{p,j}, \end{equation} where \begin{equation} \gamma_{m,j}:=\frac{2 (-1)^{j-1} }{j }\binom{2 m}{m+j}\Big/\binom{2 m}{m},\quad \...

Cubic splines convergence?

I am looking for a basic, classical, result on approximating a smooth function using cubic and linear splines. Is there a reference on the convergence, in some sense, of the splines to the function of ...

An alternative to the Euler--Maclaurin formula: Approximating sums by integrals only

The Euler--MacLaurin summation formula can be written as $$ \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} f(k)\approx \int^{n-1}_0f(x)\,dx + \frac{f(n-1) + f(0)}2 + \sum_{j=1}^m\frac{B_{2j}}{(2j)!}[f^{(2j - 1)}(n-1)...

Approximation by exponential polynomials

Let $u(t) = \Sigma_{k=1}^n c_k e^{\lambda_k t} (c_k \in \mathbb C, \lambda_k \in \mathbb C) $ be an exponential polynomial of order $n$. Define $E_n$ to be the collection of all exponential ...
