Over the course of his distinguished career, Edward Saff has made a number of groundbreaking contributions in the fields of approximation theory, potential theory, and complex analysis. The chapters in this volume – compiled on the occasion of his 80th birthday – are written by distinguished mathematicians and pay tribute to his many significant and lasting achievements.

Different aspects of harmonic analysis, complex analysis, sampling theory, approximation theory and related topics are covered in this volume. The topics included are Fourier analysis, Padè approximation, dynamical systems and difference operators, splines, Christoffel functions, best approximation, discrepancy theory and Jackson-type theorems of approximation. The articles of this collection were originated from the International Conference in Approximation Theory, held in Savannah, GA in...
