The article is devoted to results relating to the theory of rational approximation of an analytic function. Let ƒ be an analytic function on the disk {z : |z| < ñ), ñ > 1. The rate of decrease of the best approximations ñn of a function ƒ by the rational functions of order at most n in the uniform metric on the unit disk E with the center z = 0 is investigated. The theorem connecting the rate of decrease of ñn with the order ó > 0 of ƒ in the disk {z : |z| < ñ} is proved. The proof of this results is based on an analysis of behavior of the singular numbers of the Hankel operator constructed from the function ƒ.

Let ƒ b e a mapping defined on a compact subset K of the finite complex plane C and taking its values on the extended plane C ⋃ ﹛ ∞﹜. For x a metric on the extended plane, we consider the possibility of approximating ƒ x-uniformly on K by rational functions. Since all metrics on C ⋃ ﹛oo ﹜ are equivalent, we shall consider that x is the chordal metric on the Riemann sphere of diameter one resting on a finite plane at the origin.

Abstract This paper concerns free function theory. Freemaps are free analogs of analytic functions in several complex variables and are defined in terms of freely noncommuting variables. A function of g noncommuting variables is a function on g-tuples of square matrices of all sizes that respects direct sums and simultaneous conjugation. Examples of such maps include noncommutative polynomials, noncommutative rational functions, and convergent noncommutative power series. In sharp contrast to the existing literature in free analysis, this article investigates free maps with involution, free analogs of real analytic functions. To get a grip on these, techniques and tools from invariant theory are developed and applied to free analysis. Here is a sample of the results obtained. A characterization of polynomial free maps via properties of their finite-dimensional slices is presented and then used to establish power series expansions for analytic free maps about scalar and non-scalar points; the latter are series of generalized polynomials for which an invarianttheoretic characterization is given. Furthermore, an inverse and implicit function theorem for free maps with involution is obtained. Finally, with a selection of carefully chosen examples it is shown that free maps with involution do not exhibit strong rigidity properties enjoyed by their involutionfree counterparts.

AbstractIt is reasonable to expect that, under suitable conditions, Padé approximants should provide nearly optimal rational approximations to analytic functions in the unit disc. This is shown to be the case for ez in the sense that main diagonal Padé approximants are shown to converge as expeditiously as best uniform approximants. Some more general but less precise related results are discussed.
