Fix constant $L,C>0$ and $k\geq 1$ and let $f\in W^{1,k}(\mathbb{R}^d,\mathbb{R}^n)$ with $\|f\|_{W^{1,k}}\leq C$. Is there a known estimate on the distance $$ \|f - \operatorname{Lip}_L(\mathbb{R}^d, …

Motivation/Hand-Wavy Question: In this post, it was asked what the best local approximation of $f(x):=\max\{0,x\}$ is by a polynomial of a given degree; with the answer provided by Chebyshev's Equiosc …

Fix a positive integer $n$ and and an non-negative integer $k$. The Arzela-Ascoli theorem guarantees that for a given positive integer $k$ and a given $L>0$ the set $$ Ball_{C^{k,1}([0,1]^n)}(0,L) := …

Let $(X,d,x)$ be a separable pointed metric space and let $\mathcal{F}(X)$ be its Arens-Eells (also called its Lipschitz-Free space; in the case where $X$ is Banach) space. We view the $1$-Wasserstei …

Let $\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ be the set of Borel probability measures on the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ and consider thereof consisting of all probability measures $\mathbb{P}$ satisfying $\int …

Let $X$ and $Y$ be metric spaces and let $f:X\rightarrow Y$ be such that: for every compact subset $K$ of $X$ the restricted map $f|_K:K\rightarrow Y$ defined by $f|_K(x)=f(x)$ is bi-Lipschitz (with c …
