Málstofa í stærðfræði Fyrirlesari: Benedikt Magnússon Titill: Carleman approximations Staðsetning: V-157, VRII Tími: Mánudagur 22. september, frá 15:00 til 16:00. Ágrip: I will introduce Carleman’s remarkable extension of the Weierstrass approximation theorem. In its simplest form it states that if and are continuous functions on the real line , and then there exists an entire […]
