Ordered Cones and Approximation

This book presents a unified approach to Korovkin-type approximation theorems. It includes classical material on the approximation of real-valuedfunctions as well as recent and new results on set-valued functions and stochastic processes, and on weighted

Introduction Korovkin type approximation theorems typically deal with certain restricted classes of continuous linear operators on locally convex vector spaces. These may be positive operators on ordered vector spaces or contractions on normed spaces as in the seminal work by Korovkin [29], [30], Shashk
