Best approximations and porous sets

Simeon Reich, Alexander J. Zaslavski (2003)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Let D be a nonempty compact subset of a Banach space X and denote by S ( X ) the family of all nonempty bounded closed convex subsets of X . We endow S ( X ) with the Hausdorff metric and show that there exists a set S ( X ) such that its complement S ( X ) is σ -porous and such that for each A and each x ˜ D , the set of solutions of the best approximation problem x ˜ - z min , z A , is nonempty and compact, and each minimizing sequence has a convergent subsequence.

Best approximations, fixed points and parametric projections

Tiziana Cardinali (2002)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

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].

Best N-term approximation in electronic structure calculations. II. Jastrow factors

Heinz-Jürgen Flad, Wolfgang Hackbusch, Reinhold Schneider (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

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 ( 2 ) near electron-electron and electron-nuclear cusps. Based on Nitsche's characterization of best N-term approximation spaces A q α ( H 1 ) , we prove...

Best N-term approximation in electronic structure calculations I. One-electron reduced density matrix

Heinz-Jürgen Flad, Wolfgang Hackbusch, Reinhold Schneider (2006)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We discuss best N-term approximation spaces for one-electron wavefunctions φ i and reduced density matrices ρ emerging from Hartree-Fock and density functional theory. The approximation spaces A q α ( H 1 ) 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 q spaces of wavelet coefficients to proof that both φ i and ρ are in A q α ( H 1 ) for all α > 0 with α = 1 q - 1 2 . Our proof is based on the...

Best simultaneous L p approximations

Yusuf Karakuş (1998)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper we study simultaneous approximation of n real-valued functions in L p [ a , b ] and give a generalization of some related results.
