Our primary goal in this preamble is to highlight the best of Vasil Popov’s mathematical achievements and ideas. V. Popov showed his extraordinary talent for mathematics in his early papers in the (typically Bulgarian) area of approximation in the Hausdorff metric. His results in this area are very well presented in the monograph of his advisor Bl. Sendov, “Hausdorff Approximation”.

The Littlewood-Paley theory is extended to weighted spaces of distributions on [-1,1] with Jacobi weights . Almost exponentially localized polynomial elements (needlets) , are constructed and, in complete analogy with the classical case on ℝⁿ, it is shown that weighted Triebel-Lizorkin and Besov spaces can be characterized by the size of the needlet coefficients in respective sequence spaces.
