The "Full Clarkson-Erdős-Schwartz Theorem" on the closure of non-dense Müntz spaces
Denote by spanf₁,f₂,... the collection of all finite linear combinations of the functions f₁,f₂,... over ℝ. The principal result of the paper is the following. Theorem (Full Clarkson-Erdős-Schwartz Theorem). Suppose is a sequence of distinct positive numbers. Then is dense in C[0,1] if and only if . Moreover, if , then every function from the C[0,1] closure of can be represented as an analytic function on z ∈ ℂ ∖ (-∞, 0]: |z| < 1 restricted to (0,1). This result improves an earlier result...
