A Note on Nonlinear Approximation Theory

  • Chapter

Abstract

Recently J.R. Rice [1] initiated a geometrical study of non-linear approximations. In what follows below we offer a small contribution to certain analytical aspects of meansquare non-linear approximations. One result is to exhibit a family of non-linear topological subspaces of the space C [a, b] with the mean-square metric which has a local unique best approximation property.
