We discuss best N-term approximation spaces for one-electron wavefunctions ${\phi }_i$ and reduced density matrices ρ emerging from Hartree-Fock and density functional theory. The approximation spaces $A_q^{\alpha }\left(H^1\right)$ 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 ${\ell }_q$ spaces of wavelet coefficients to proof that both ${\phi }_i$ and ρ are in $A_q^{\alpha }\left(H^1\right)$ for all $\alpha >0$ with $\alpha =\frac{1}{q}-\frac{1}{2}$. Our proof is based on the...

Continuity conditions for a biquadratic spline interpolating given mean values in terms of proper parameters are given. Boundary conditions determining such a spline and the algorithm for computing local parameters for the given data are studied. The notion of the natural spline and its extremal property is mentioned.

By means of simple computations, we construct new classes of non separable QMF's. Some of these QMF's will lead to non separable dyadic compactly supported orthonormal wavelet bases for L2(R2) of arbitrarily high regularity.

In the present paper our aim is to establish convergence and Voronovskaja-type theorems for first derivatives of generalized Baskakov operators for functions of one and two variables in exponential and polynomial weight spaces.

The paper is concerned with the approximation and interpolation employing polyharmonic splines in multivariate problems. The properties of approximants and interpolants based on these radial basis functions are shown. The methods of such data fitting are applied in practice to treat the problems of, e.g., geographic information systems, signal processing, etc. A simple 1D computational example is presented.

Suppose Δ̃ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the sphere $S^{d-1},{\Delta }_{\rho }^{k}f\left(x\right)={\Delta }_{\rho }{\Delta }_{\rho }^{k-1}f\left(x\right)$ and ${\Delta }_{\rho }f\left(x\right)=f\left(\rho x\right)-f\left(x\right)$ where ρ ∈ SO(d). Then ${\omega }^m{(f,t)}_{L_p\left(S^{d-1}\right)}\equiv sup\parallel {\Delta }_{\rho }^{m}f{\parallel }_{L_p\left(S^{d-1}\right)}:\rho \in SO\left(d\right),ma{x}_{x\in S^{d-1}}\rho x·x\ge cost$ and $K̃ₘ{(f,t^m)}_p\equiv inf\parallel f-g{\parallel }_{L_p\left(S^{d-1}\right)}+t^m\parallel {(-\Delta ̃)}^{m/2}g{\parallel }_{L_p\left(S^{d-1}\right)}:g\in \left({(-\Delta ̃)}^{m/2}\right)$ are equivalent for 1 < p < ∞. We note that for even m the relation was recently investigated by the second author. The equivalence yields an extension of the results on sharp Jackson inequalities on the sphere. A new strong converse inequality for $L_p\left(S^{d-1}\right)$ given in this paper plays a significant role in the proof.
