Paul Erdős and Interpolation: Problems, Results, New Developments

  • Chapter
Erdős Centennial

Part of the book series: Bolyai Society Mathematical Studies ((BSMS,volume 25))

Abstract

Pál (Paul) Erdős was born 100 years ago (March 26, 1913 in Budapest). He died on September 20, 1996 in Warsaw, when he attended a conference. He wrote about 1500 papers mainly with coauthors including those more than 80 works which are closely connected with approximation theory (interpolation, mean convergence, orthogonal polynomials, a.s.o.).
