Weierstraß’s Approximation Theorem (1885) and his 1886 lecture course revisited

2015

The paper provides new insight into the origins of Weierstras’s 1886 lecture course on the foundations of function theory and of the mimeographed lecture notes connected to this course which were published by the author in German in 1988. A short overview of the content of the lecture course is given; the central role that Weierstras’s famous approximation theorem of 1885 played in it is emphasized. The paper uses archival material recently discovered at the Institut Mittag-Leffler in Djursholm.

Some approximation properties of ( p , q ) $(p,q)$ -Bernstein operators

2016

This paper is concerned with the $(p,q)$ -analog of Bernstein operators. It is proved that, when the function is convex, the $(p,q)$ -Bernstein operators are monotonic decreasing, as in the classical case. Also, some numerical examples based on Maple algorithms that verify these properties are considered. A global approximation theorem by means of the Ditzian-Totik modulus of smoothness and a Voronovskaja type theorem are proved.

Topological systems and Artin glueing

2012

Abstract Using methods of categorical fuzzy topology, the paper shows a relation between topological systems of S. Vickers and Artin glueing of M. Artin. Inspired by the problem of interrelations between algebra and topology, we show the necessary and sufficient conditions for the category, obtained by Artin glueing along an adjoint functor, to be (co)algebraic and (co)monadic, incorporating the respective result of G. Wraith. As a result, we confirm the algebraic nature of the category of topological systems, showing that it is monadic.

On the Toeplitz algebras of right-angled and finite-type Artin groups

1999

The graph product of a family of groups lies somewhere between their direct and free products, with the graph determining which pairs of groups commute and which do not. We show that the graph product of quasi-lattice ordered groups is quasi-lattice ordered, and, when the underlying groups are amenable, that it satisfies Nica's amenability condition for quasi-lattice orders. As a consequence the Toeplitz algebras of these groups are universal for covariant isometric representations on Hilbert space, and their representations are faithful if the isometries satisfy a properness condition given by Laca and Raeburn. An application of this to right-angled Artin groups gives a uniqueness theorem …
