This theoretical approach can actually complement and guide the computational approach by narrow- ing down trial and error procedures, pinpointing singularities and suggesting methods for handling them.

for example, the so-called Lp approximation, the Bernstein approxima tion problem (approximation on the real line by certain entire functions), and the highly interesting studies of J.

It is sufficient to mention that these include, among others, the logarithmic integral, the integral sine and cosine, the error integral, the Fresnel integral, the cylinder functions and the cylinder function in parabolic cylindrical coordinates.
