Summary:

This monograph discusses the qualitative linear theory of best LT1-approximation from finite-dimensional subspaces. It presents a survey of recent research that extends "classical" results concerned with best-uniform approximation to the more general case. The work is organized to serve as a self-study guide or as a text for advanced courses. It begins with a basic introduction to the concepts of approximation theory before addressing 1- or 2-sided best approximations from finite-dimensional subspaces and approaches to the computation of these. At the end of each chapter is a series of exercises that give the reader an opportunity to test understanding and also contain some theoretical digressions and extensions of the text.
