Mathematical Sciences: Seventh International Symposium on Approximation Theory

100多年来，近似论一直是数学的一个重要分支；所涉及的数学从非常抽象到非常实用。一些新的研究领域，如计算机辅助几何设计和机器人学，在很大程度上依赖于逼近理论的工具。目前逼近理论中最活跃的研究领域包括小波、多元样条、多元数据拟合、正交多项式、有理逼近、抽象逼近、现代光滑模和计算机辅助几何设计。该项目将支持将于1992年1月3-7日在奥斯汀的德克萨斯大学举行的第七届国际近似理论研讨会。会议将包括9场1小时的特邀调查讲座和100多场来稿会议。计划举行一系列会议议事录。

Approximation theory has been an important branch of mathematics for over 100 years; the mathematics involved ranges from the very abstract to the very applied. Several new research areas such as computer-aided geometric design and robotics depend heavily on tools from approximation theory. Some of the most currently active research areas in approximation theory are wavelets, multivariate splines, multivariate data fitting, orthogonal polynomials, rational approximation, abstract approximation, modern moduli of smoothness, and computer-aided geometric design. This project will support the Seventh International Symposium on Approximation Theory, to be held January 3-7, 1992 at the University of Texas at Austin. The conference will include 9 one-hour invited survey lectures and over 100 sessions for contributed papers. A volume of conference proceedings is planned.
