Complexity of evaluation of analytic functions
Given an analytic function $f(x)$ (say as combination of elementary functions and operators), is it possible to compute $n$ first bits of the value of the function on the whole interval $[a, b]$ ...

Best approximation of the modulus function
While there is extensive study regarding the best approximation of function with polynomial functions in the real domain, the study of approximation of complex variables becomes much sparse. See this ...

Approximation for complex variables
Approximation theory, which aims to provide the optimal polynomial function approximating the target function in a given domain such as $x\in[-1,1]$, has been well-developed for real variables. In ...

Polynomial and rational approximation of continuous functions in $\mathbb{C}$
I am wondering what the state of the art is for polynomial and rational approximations to continuous/holomorphic functions in $\mathbb{C}$. The particular domains of interest are the closed unit ball $...

Rate of convergence of Padé approximants
Let $f$ be an entire function of order $1$. Two questions:
1) Can one assert that the diagonal Padé approximants converge to $f$ (pointwise or uniformly over compacts of $\mathbb C$)?
2) if yes, can ...

Proving that $\lim_{j \to i} Z_{ij} = [\ln(\frac{\Delta s_i}{2})-1]\Delta s_i$
If I have the following integral equation $$\phi(\vec{x})=\frac{1}{\pi}\int [\phi\frac{\partial (\ln r)}{\partial n} -\ln(r) \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial n}] ds$$
An approximate solution of $\phi$ ...

Variation of steepest descent/Laplace methods for non-exponential integrands
I was wondering if versions of the Laplace/steepest descent methods exists for integrals of the type
$$\int_C f(z) M(\lambda g(z)) dz$$
for $\lambda >>0$ functions $f(z), g(z): \mathbb C \...

Padé multipoint approximants of the exponential function
One says that a pair of polynomials $(P_m,Q_n)$ over $\mathbb C[z]$, with
$\text{deg }P_m=m$, $\text{deg }Q_n=n$, is a "multipoint Padé approximant of the exponential function" if $P_m(z)e^z-Q_n(z)$ ...

Stone-Weierstrass Theorem, polynomial interpolation, divided difference in complex plane
Setting:
Let $\Gamma$ be a simple smooth($C^\infty$) curve in $\mathbb{C}$ parametrized by the injective map $\gamma:[0,1] \to \mathbb{C}$.
Assume $f$ is a function defined on $\Gamma$ s.t. $f$ is ...
