Is there an analytic formula for such an approximation? N(L_m) := \\{w: L_m w=0 \\hbox{in\\} D\\}$?", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-01-31T20:27:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "30D20", "35R25", "35J10", "35J05", "65M30" ], "keywords": [ "approximation theory", "formal linear partial differential operator", "unknown smooth function", "approximate", "linear combinations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math......1380R" } } }
