A.
Bernstein polynomials
Bernstein polynomials are a family of polynomials used in approximation theory that provide a constructive proof of the Weierstrass approximation theorem by uniformly approximating continuous functions on a closed interval.
-
B.
Chebyshev alternation theorem
The Chebyshev alternation theorem is a fundamental result in approximation theory that characterizes the best uniform (minimax) polynomial approximation to a continuous function by the presence of alternating maximum errors at a finite set of points.

C.
Carathéodory–Fejér interpolation
Carathéodory–Fejér interpolation is a classical result in complex analysis and approximation theory that concerns constructing analytic functions, typically with bounded or positive real part, that match prescribed initial Taylor coefficients.
-
D.
Bernstein inequalities
Bernstein inequalities are fundamental results in approximation theory and probability that provide bounds on the derivatives or deviations of functions and random variables under certain smoothness or moment conditions.
-
E.
Weierstrass approximation theorem
The Weierstrass approximation theorem is a fundamental result in real analysis stating that any continuous function on a closed interval can be uniformly approximated by polynomials.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
