Thorough composite rational and polynomial approximations have been given by Wichura and Acklam.
2.
Calculators normally use polynomial approximations to calculate many functions like cosine or logarithms.
3.
Thus, a fully polynomial approximation scheme for minimum weight triangulation is unlikely.
4.
Gouesbet and Letellier used a multivariate polynomial approximation and least squares to reconstruct their vector field.
5.
For example, moduli of smoothness are used in Whitney inequality to estimate the error of local polynomial approximation.
6.
The Taylor series expansion of " g " about 0 can then be truncated to give a polynomial approximation on " K ".
7.
They also have fast parallel multipliers, so within interpolation bands they can use polynomial approximations which are faster than traditional methods that required a lot more arithmetic operations.
8.
In a direct method, the state and / or control are approximated using an appropriate function approximation ( e . g ., polynomial approximation or piecewise constant parameterization ).
9.
Mechanical special-purpose computers known as difference engines were proposed in the 19th century to tabulate polynomial approximations of logarithmic functions & ndash; i . e . to compute large logarithmic tables.
10.
More recently, however, it was demonstrated that, using standard polynomial approximations to the normal " cdf, " the normal-ogive model is no more computationally demanding than logistic models.
