Abstract:
Let f
C2, 2([-1, 1]2) be a real function satisfying
4f/
x2
y2
0 on [-1, 1]2. We study the problem of best one-sided L1-approximation to f from the linear space {h
C2, 2([-1, 1]2):
4h/
x2
y2=0} of all blending functions of order (2, 2). The unique best one-sided L1-approximant to f from above is characterized by transfinite Hermite interpolation on the canonical grid {(x, y)
[-1, 1]2 : |x|=|y|}. For f even with respect to one of its variables we characterize the unique best one-sided L1-approximant to f from below by transfinite Hermite interpolation on the canonical grid {(x, y)
[-1, 1]2 : |x|+|y|=1}. There is no canonical grid for the entire cone class of functions f with
4f/
x2
y2
0 on [-1, 1]2 when we approximate from below. The best one-sided L1-approximant from above has the smoothness of f. The best one-sided L1-approximant to f from below is a blending-spline function with two line segment knots {(x, 0): -1
x
1} and {(0, y): -1
y
1}; i.e., the best one-sided approximation to f from below possesses a saturation effect with respect to the smoothness of f. © 2002 Elsevier Science (USA).
