Linear approximation of multivariate function of bounded second order partial derivatives
I have a question about linear approximation in the multivariate case.\
Let $f:B^d_r\to \mathbb{R}$ be a real-valued $C^2$-function defined on the $d$-dimensional ball of radius $r$ centered at the ...

Polynomial approximation for square root function with fast convergence and bounded coefficients
Let $\delta, \varepsilon \in (0,1)$. I am interested in a sequence $\{f_n\}$ of polynomial approximations of the square root function $x \to x^{1/2}$ on $[\delta,1]$, of the form
$$
f_n(x) = \sum_{i=0}...

Approximation Rates for Multivariate Taylor Series
Let $k,n,m$ be positive integers and suppose that $f$ is $C^{k}(\mathbb{R}^n,\mathbb{R}^m)$ functions. For any given $\epsilon>0$ and $x_0\in \mathbb{R}^n$, are there known sharp approximation ...

Taylor approximation of $f(q) = \left(1 + q \dfrac{w_s}{w_0}\right)^{\alpha}$
I am trying to prove equations (3) given in this paper
http://users.cecs.anu.edu.au/~thush/publications/vtc_final.pdf.
The authors use taylor series to approximate function
$f(q) = \left(1 + q \...

Taylor series expansion of quantile function
Suppose $Y$ and $Z$ two random variables, $\lambda \in \mathbb{R} $.
We note $F^{-1}_{Y}(\alpha)$ the quantile function of the variable $Y$ at the quantile level $\alpha \in (0,1)$.
Do you have any ...

Padé approximation - usability in iterative algorithms
Firstly, I have to say that I don't understand Padé approximation well.
But I discovered that, it is more precise than Taylor series.
I have to create approximation for these functions: Log(x) and ...
