Abstract

This paper presents practically useful constructive linear methods of approximation of analytic functions by polynomials, sinc functions and rational functions. Spaces of functions of the type frequently encountered in applications are described for approximation by each method. Within these spaces, the rate of convergence of each approximation is nearly optimal.
