Abstract
There are numerous instances in which we need to approximate functions of one or several variables. Examples include the perturbation methods considered in Chaps. 2–4, the discrete state space methods of Chap. 7, and the weighted residuals methods of Chap. 5. This chapter gathers the most useful tools for this purpose. First, we clarify the notion of function approximation in the next section. We distinguish between local and global methods.
