Approximation in Bochner spaces
Is there any result like the Bramble-Hilbert lemma for Bochner spaces?
More specifically: let $H$ be a (e.g.) Hilbert space, $I\subset \mathbb R$ a bounded interval, and $L \in \mathcal L(H^k(I;H), Y)...

Density of smooth function in Hilbert spaces
I am looking for a simple reference to the following fact:
If $f:\Omega\to\mathbb{R}$ is continuous, where $\Omega\subset H$ is an open subset of a separable Hilbert space $H$, then for any $\...

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 ...

Family of Pettis integrals functions "uniformly approximated" by sums
In this book (proof of $4.1.3.$ Lemma. exactly), one can find this passage, that I tried to rephrase here:
Let $f:I\times E\rightarrow E$ a Pettis integrable function, where $I:=[0,T]\subset \mathbb{...

Vector-Valued Stone-Weierstrass Theorem?
The standard statement of the Stone-Weierstrass theorem is:
Let $X$ be compact Hausdorff topological space, and $\mathcal{A}$ a subalgebra of the continuous functions from $X$ to $\mathbb{R}$ which ...

Stone–Weierstrass theorem for stronger topologies
The Stone–Weierstrass theorem gives an easy to check criterion on a (algebra) set of functions $D\subseteq C(X)$ which ensures that $D$ is dense.
Are any similar results for density in $C_b(X)$ ...

Reference request: Projection operators in metric spaces
Given a metric space $(X,d)$ and a subset $S\subset X$, the projection $P_S$ onto $S$ is well-defined as a set valued function. I am interested in learning more about properties of these projections ...

Property of Fixed Point Function
Given an operator $\mathcal{T}$ that maps from a function $f: \mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ to another function $f': \mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, we are interested in the fixed point $f^*...

Tight L2 bound on moments approximation and reference
Consider $f\in L^2(I)$, where $I$ is the unit interval and $L^2$ is w.r.t. Lebesgue measure, and consider an approximation of $f$ denoted by $\tilde{f}\in L^2$.
The error in approximated the moments ...
