Bernstein's theorem (approximation theory)

ID: bernstein-s-theorem-approximation-theory

Bernstein's theorem in the context of approximation theory, particularly in the field of polynomial approximation, refers to the result that relates to the uniform approximation of continuous functions on a closed interval using polynomial functions. The theorem states that if \( f \) is a continuous function defined on the interval \([a, b]\), then \( f \) can be uniformly approximated as closely as desired by a sequence of polynomials.
