The properties of a Chebyshev approximation by the sum of a linear expression and an arctangent function have been investigated. The condition has been established under which a Chebyshev approximation by this expression with the smallest absolute error and with the reproduction of the function value at the leftmost point exists and is unique. A method of determining the parameters of this approximation has been suggested and substantiated. The results of a Chebyshev approximation of the magnetization characteristic of electrotechnical steel by the sum of a linear expression and an arctangent function have been presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
