On polynomials approximating the solutions of nonlinear differential equations

Alex Bacopoulos and Athanassios G. Kartsatos

Vol. 40 (1972), No. 1, 1–5
Abstract

Suppose that L(x) is a differential operator and R(t) a continuous function, and consider the differential equation () L(αj) = R(t). Then a problem in approximation theory is whether we can approximate a solution x(t) of () uniformly with a sequence of polynomials Pn for which we have R(t) L(Pn)ηn, where ∥⋅∥ is a certain norm and ηn a specific sequence of nonnegative constants. This is done here for a first order nonlinear differential operator L and for two different norms, the uniform norm and the Lp norm (1 p < +).
