FIXED POINT THEOREMS AND BEST APPROXIMATION IN CONVEX METRIC SPACES

Results regarding best approximation and best Simultaneous approximation on convex metric spaces are Obtained.Existence of fixed points for an ultimately nonexpansive semigroup of mappings is also shown.

ON BEST SIMULTANEOUS APPROXIMATION IN QUOTIENT SPACES

We assume that X is a normed linear space, W and M are subspaces of X. We develop a theory of best simultaneous approximation in quotient spaces and introduce equivalent assertions between the subspaces W and W ＋ M and the quotient space W/M.

SOME BEST APPROXIMATION RESULTS IN LOCALLY CONVEX SPACES

In this note we obtain generalization of well known results of carbone and Conti,Sehgal and Singh and Tanimoto concerning the existence of best approximation and simultaneous best approximation of continuous Junctions from the set up of a normed space to the case of a Hausdorff locally convex space.

We present a common fixed point theorem for generalized asymptotically non- expansive and noncommuting mappings in normed linear spaces.

A UNIFIED APPROACH TO CERTAIN PROBLEMS OF BEST LOCAL APPROXIMATION

In this paper we study best local quasi-rational approximation and best local approximation from finite dimensional subspaces of vectorial functions of several variables.Our approach extends and unifies several problems concerning best local multi-point approximation in different norms.

THE BEST APPROXIMATION AND COINCIDENCE THEOREMS FOR COMPOSITES OF ACYCLIC MAPPINGS

Some new coincidence theorem s involving a new class of set_valued mappings containing composites of acyclic mappings defined in a contractible space are proved. For applications, some best approximation theorems and coincidence theorems for set-valued mappings are als o given. A number of known results in recent literature are improved and general ized by the theorems in this paper.

CHARACTERIZATION OF BEST APPROXIMATIONS IN METRIC LINEAR SPACES

Let (X,d) be a real metric linear space, with translation-invariant metric d and C a linear subspace of X. In this paper we use functionals in the Lipschitz dual of X to characterize those elements of G which are best approximations to elements of X.We also give simultaneous characterization of elements of best approximation and also consider elements of ε-approximation.

COMMON FIXED POINTS WITH APPLICATIONS TO BEST SIMULTANEOUS APPROXIMATIONS

For a subset K of a metric space （X,d） and x ∈ X,Px（x）={y ∈ K ： d（x,y） = d（x,K）≡ inf{d（x,k） ： k ∈ K}}is called the set of best K-approximant to x. An element go E K is said to be a best simulta- neous approximation of the pair y1,y2 E ∈ if max{d（y1,go）,d（y2,go）}=inf g∈K max {d（y1,g）,d（y2,g）}.In this paper, some results on the existence of common fixed points for Banach operator pairs in the framework of convex metric spaces have been proved. For self mappings T and S on K, results are proved on both T- and S- invariant points for a set of best simultaneous approximation. Some results on best K-approximant are also deduced. The results proved generalize and extend some results of I. Beg and M. Abbas^[1], S. Chandok and T.D. Narang^[2], T.D. Narang and S. Chandok^[11], S.A. Sahab, M.S. Khan and S. Sessa^[14], P. Vijayaraju^[20] and P. Vijayaraju and M. Marudai^[21].

BEST APPROXIMATION BY DOWNWARD SETS WITH APPLICATIONS

We develop a theory of downward sets for a class of normed ordered spaces. We study best approximation in a normed ordered space X by elements of downward sets, and give necessary and sufficient conditions for any element of best approximation by a closed downward subset of X. We also characterize strictly downward subsets of X, and prove that a downward subset of X is strictly downward if and only if each its boundary point is Chebyshev. The results obtained are used for examination of some Chebyshev pairs （W,x）, where ∈ X and W is a closed downward subset of X

A Class of Iteration Method for the Best Approximation Problems

We propose a class of iteration methods searching the best approximately generalized polynomial, which has parallel computational function and converges to the exact solution quadratically. We first transform it into a special system of nonlinear equations with constraint, then by using to certain iteration method, we combine the two basic processes of the Remes method into a whole such that the iterative process of the system of nonlinear equations and the computation of the solution to the system of linear equations proceed alternately. A lot of numerical examples show that this method not only has good convergence property but also always converges to the exact solution of the problem accurately and rapidly for almost all initial approximations .

FUNCTIONAL INEQUALITIES AND BEST APPROXIMATION

We investigate the relationship between best approximations by elements of closed convex cones and the estimation of functionals on an inner product space (X,<·,·>)in terms of the inner product on X.

Maximal Inequalities for the Best Approximation Operator and Simonenko Indices

In an abstract set up, we get strong type inequalities in L^p＋1 by assuming weak or extra-weak inequalities in Orlicz spaces. For some classes of functions, the number p is related to Simonenko indices. We apply the results to get strong inequal- ities for maximal functions associated to best Ф-approximation operators in an Orlicz space L^Ф.

BEST APPROXIMATION THEOREM FOR SET-VALUED MAPPINGSWITHOUT CONVEX VELUES AND CONTINUITY

PADE APPROXIMANTS AS LIMITS OF RATIONAL FUNCTIONS OF BEST APPROXIMATION IN ORLICZ SPACE

In this paper, we prove that the best rational approximation of a given analytic function in Orlicz space L~*(G), where G = {|z|≤∈}, converges to the Pade approximants of the function as the measure of G approaches zero.

C^p Condition and the Best Local Approximation

In this paper, we introduce a condition weaker than the LP differentiability, which we call Cp condition. We prove that if a function satisfies this condition at a point, then there exists the best local approximation at that point. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for that a function be LP differentiable. In addition, we study the convexity of the set of cluster points of the net of best appoximations of f, {Pε（f）} asε→0.

SOME GENERALIZATIONS OF KY FAN'S BEST APPROXIMATION THEOREM

We pressent new Ky Fan type best approximation theorems for a discontinuous multivalued map on metrizable topological vector spaces and hyperconvex spaces. In addition, fixed point results are derived for the map studied. Our work generalizes severl results in approximation theory.

Weighted Best Local Approximation

In this survey, the notion of a balanced best multipoint local approximation is fully exposed since they were treated in the LP spaces and recent results in Orlicz spaces. The notion of balanced point, which was introduced by Chui et al. in 1984 are extensively used.
