A lacunary version of Mergelian's approximation theorem
Journal of Approximation Theory
Hi-index | 0.00 |
A necessary and sufficient condition is obtained for the linear span of a system of monomials {z^@l:@l@?@L} to be dense in the space of all continuous functions defined on the line segments emerging from the origin, where @L is a set of nonnegative integers. The result is a generalization of the Muntz theorem to the segments emerging from the origin and an extension of the Mergelyan theorem to lacunary polynomials.
