AbstractWe consider the classical problem of finding the best uniform approximation by polynomials of$1/(x-a)^2,$where$a>1$is given, on the interval$[-\! 1,1]$. First, using symbolic computation tools we derive the explicit expressions of the polynomials of best approximation of low degrees and then give a parametric solution of the problem in terms of elliptic functions. Symbolic computation is invoked then once more to derive a recurrence relation for the coefficients of the polynomials of best uniform approximation based on a Pell-type equation satisfied by the solutions.

In this note the best uniform approximation on [—1,1] to the function |x| by symmetric complex valued linear fractional transformations is determined. This is a special case of the more general problem studied in [1]. Namely, for any even, real valued function f(x) on [-1,1] satsifying 0 = f ( 0 ) ≤ f (x) ≤ f (1) = 1, determine the degree of symmetric approximationand the extremal transformations U whenever they exist.

Based on the prime number [Formula: see text], a generalized (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP)-type equation is proposed, where the bilinear operators are redefined through introducing some prime number. Computerized symbolic computation provides a powerful tool to solve the generalized (3+1)-dimensional KP-type equation, and some exact solutions are obtained including lump-type solution and interaction solution. With numerical simulation, three-dimensional plots, density plots, and two-dimensional curves are given for particular choices of the involved parameters in the solutions to show the evolutionary characteristics.

Let f be a continuous real valued function defined on [−1, 1] and let En(f) denote the degree of best uniform approximation to f by algebraic polynomial of degree at most n. The supremum norm on [a, b] is denoted by ∥.∥[a, b] and the polynomial of degree n of best uniform approximation is denoted by Pn. We find a class of functions f such that there exists a fixed a ∈(−1, 1) with the following propertyfor some positive constants C and N independent of n. Moreover the sequence is optimal in the sense that if is replaced by then the above inequality need not hold no matter how small C > 0 is chosen.We also find another, more general class a functions f for whichinfinitely often.
