Abstract
Fix a positive integern and σ>0. ForF continuous and positive on [0, ∞), we consider the spaceW(n, σ; F) of functions of the form σF(αjx) Pj(x) where there arem(≤n) terms in the sum; theP j's are polynomials of total degree not exceedingn — m; and 0≤αj≤αj+1-α, j=1, 2,⋯, m-1. Under certain conditions onF (primarily that it increase rapidly enough to ∞ asx goes to ∞),W(n, σ; F) is an existence space forC[0,1].
