Two near minimax norms for polynomial approximation are presented. They are designed for approximation of both a function and its first derivative uniformly by polynomials over a given finite interval ...
Numerical optimization of a numerically integrated function is a difficult task, and the computation of the objective function and its derivatives can lead to arithmetic exceptions and overflows. A ...
