Summary:

This monograph, in two parts, is an intensive and comprehensive study of the computational aspects of the moduli of smoothness and the Global Smoothness Preservation Property (GSPP). Key features include: * systematic and extensive study of the computation of Moduli of Continuity and GSPP, presented for the first time in book form * substantial motivation and examples for key results * extensive applications of moduli of smoothness and GSPP concepts to approximation theory, probability theory, numerical and functional analysis * GSPP methods to benefit engineers in computer-aided geometric design * good bibliography and index For researchers and graduate students in pure and applied mathematics.
