Extract

Approximating sequences have been extensively studied in many branches of mathematics, for example, in number theory (approximating real numbers by rationals) and in numerical analysis (approximations to functions by polynomials). In (1), A. Hyllengren introduced a type of approximating sequence ‘majorizing sequences’ which he used in solving a problem in complex analysis. In this note we study a very similar concept, which is general enough to be applicable to any separable metric space, and which turns out to have strong connexions with the theory of Hausdorff measures (as did Hyllengren's majorizing sequences).
