Spanning approximately 220 pages, the book centres on best approximation problems in normed linear spaces and demonstrates how they naturally lead to optimization techniques . Krabs begins with the fundamental mathematical setup normed linear (often Banach) spaces and approximation theory then examines how finding the best approximation to a target function or vector can be framed as an optimization problem. He provides numerous detailed examples, guiding the reader through explicit constructions and solution techniques that highlight both theoretical elegance and practical applicability. ; 16.3x24.1cm; xii,2020 pages.
