On the approximation by compositions of fixed multivariate functions with univariate functions

Vugar E. Ismailov (2007)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

The approximation in the uniform norm of a continuous function f(x) = f(x₁,...,xₙ) by continuous sums g₁(h₁(x)) + g₂(h₂(x)), where the functions h₁ and h₂ are fixed, is considered. A Chebyshev type criterion for best approximation is established in terms of paths with respect to the functions h₁ and h₂.

Greedy Algorithms for Adaptive Approximation

Albert Cohen (2009)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

We discuss the performances of greedy algorithms for two problems of numerical approximation. The first one is the best approximation of an arbitrary function by an N-terms linear combination of simple functions adaptively picked within a large dictionary. The second one is the approximation of an arbitrary function by a piecewise polynomial function on an optimally adapted triangulation of cardinality N. Performance is measured in terms of convergence rate with respect to the number...
