Alexits György: Approximation theory. Selected papers (Budapest, 1983)
Approximation Theory George Alexits The volume is a collection of selected papers by George Alexits. Included are his articles on approximation theory, the papers developing the theory of multiplicative function systems, and the recent items on function series. His earlier function-theoretic, settheoretic and curve-theoretic papers and his works on the history of mathematics have been left out together with those earlier papers on the theory of function series, the results of which were incorporated in his monograph "Konvergenztheorie der Orthogonalreihen” published also in English and in Russian. The volume presents the selected papers reprinted in their original form. The only exception is the English translation of an article originally published in Hungarian. In addition to the papers, the volume contains a short description of the life and scientific activities of George Alexits and the full list of his scientific works. At the end of the book some remarks briefly describe how these papers stimulated further research leading to new results, while a list of errors corrects some oversights and misprints in the originals.
