Uniformly approximating a function and its derivative using polynomials
I'm struggling either proving or disproving the following statement:
Let $K\subset \mathbb{R}$ be compact, and $S = \mathrm{span}\{p_k, k = 0, 1, \ldots\}$, where $p_k$'s are polynomials over $K$. If ...

Constructive approximation of Hölder functions using kernel functions
Suppose I have a function $f \in \mathcal C^{\alpha, L}([0,1])$, where
$\mathcal C^{\alpha, L}([0,1])$ is the space of $\alpha$-smooth Hölder
functions with norm $L$. I am interested in efficiently ...

How can discrete Fourier transform approximation prove the completeness of complex exponentials in $L^2(T)$?
I have a question about the completeness of complex exponentials in function spaces.
For the discrete set $ S = \{1, 2, \ldots, n\} $, it is clear and intuitive that $ e^{2\pi ikx/n} $ for $ k = 0, 1, ...

Stone-Weierstrass theorem for modules of non-self-adjoint subalgebras
In "Weierstrass-Stone, the Theorem" by Joao Prolla, there is a Stone-Weierstrass theorem for modules, stated as the following:
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a subalegebra of $C(X, \mathbb{R})$ and $...

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)...

bounds on derivatives of mollifiers/mollified functions
Consider the standard mollifier
$$
\phi(x) = C\exp\left(-\frac{1}{1-x^2}\right), \quad -1<x<1.
$$
such that $\int\phi(x) = 1$.
Let $f(x) = |x|$ and consider the convolution $f\ast \phi$. I am ...

Giving Uniform Bound on Differences of Sums of Converging Polynomials
The title does not quite capture the essence of the difficulty, please allow me to be more explicit here.
I thought of this question when I was trying out an open problem by Ovidiu Furdui(See problem ...

Approximation of a continuous function by a smooth one on an open set
I'm interested in the following kind of theorems :
Let $M$ be a real analytic manifold and $U$ an open set of $M$. Let $f : U \to \mathbb{R}$ a continuous function. Then, there is a $C_{\infty}$ ...

Existence of uniform approximator that also approximates derivative
Let $S$ be a subset of $C^1([0, 1], \mathbb{R})$. It is a well-known fact that given a function $f\in C^1([0, 1], \mathbb{R})$ and a sequence $\{f_n\}\subset C^1([0,1], \mathbb{R})$ such that $f_n\to ...
