Polynomial Convexity, Hardcover by Stout, Edgar Lee, ISBN 0817645373, ISBN-13 9780817645373, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This comprehensive monograph details polynomially convex sets. It presents the general properties of polynomially convex sets with particular attention to the theory of the hulls of one-dimensional sets. Coverage examines in considerable detail questions of uniform approximation for the most part on compact sets but with some attention to questions of global approximation on noncompact sets. Th also discusses important applications and motivates the reader with numerous examples and counterexamples, which serve to illustrate the general theory and to delineate its boundaries.
