Best approximation in Orlicz spaces.
Let be a nonempty compact subset of a Banach space and denote by the family of all nonempty bounded closed convex subsets of . We endow with the Hausdorff metric and show that there exists a set such that its complement is -porous and such that for each and each , the set of solutions of the best approximation problem , , is nonempty and compact, and each minimizing sequence has a convergent subsequence.
If f is a continuous seminorm, we prove two f-best approximation theorems for functions Φ not necessarily continuous as a consequence of our version of Glebov's fixed point theorem. Moreover, we obtain another fixed point theorem that improves a recent result of [4]. In the last section, we study continuity-type properties of set valued parametric projections and our results improve recent theorems due to Mabizela [11].
We present a novel application of best N-term approximation theory in the framework of electronic structure calculations. The paper focusses on the description of electron correlations within a Jastrow-type ansatz for the wavefunction. As a starting point we discuss certain natural assumptions on the asymptotic behaviour of two-particle correlation functions near electron-electron and electron-nuclear cusps. Based on Nitsche's characterization of best N-term approximation spaces , we prove...
We discuss best N-term approximation spaces for one-electron wavefunctions and reduced density matrices ρ emerging from Hartree-Fock and density functional theory. The approximation spaces for anisotropic wavelet tensor product bases have been recently characterized by Nitsche in terms of tensor product Besov spaces. We have used the norm equivalence of these spaces to weighted spaces of wavelet coefficients to proof that both and ρ are in for all with . Our proof is based on the...
In this paper we study simultaneous approximation of real-valued functions in and give a generalization of some related results.
