Extract

In a previous paper we discussed a uniform algebraic method of solution of problems in which a prescribed real rational function (or polynomial) g(x) was to be approximated in a given finite interval by a real rational function (or polynomial)f(x) with prescribed numerator and denominator degrees, the approximation being Tchebysheffian, i.e. such as to make the ‘deviation’ of f, max |f − g| in the interval, as small as possible.
