Málstofa: Bergur Snorrason (Part III)

When: Friday,  November 1, at 11:40 Where: Room 156 in VR-II Speaker: Bergur Snorrason (University of Iceland) Title: The Bernstein-Walsh-Siciak theorem Abstract: An important topic in complex analysis is polynomial approximation. We will look at classic results regarding polynomial approximation, culminating in the Bernstein-Walsh-Siciak theorem, which leverages pluripotential theory to relate analytic continuation to polynomial approximations.

When: Friday,  October 25, at 11:40 Where: Room 156 in VR-II Speaker: Bergur Snorrason (University of Iceland) Title: Generalizing Siciak’s product formula Abstract: In pluripotential theory, the Siciak-Zakharyuta extremal functions are well studied. Siciak described how the Siciak-Zakharyuta function associated to a cartesian product relates to the Siciak-Zakharytua functions associated to each of the terms in
