The '''equioscillation theorem''' concerns the [[Approximation theory|approximation]] of [[continuous function]]s using [[polynomial]]s when the merit function is the maximum difference ([[uniform norm]]). Its discovery is attributed to [[Pafnuty Chebyshev|Chebyshev]].
 
== Statement ==
Let <math>f</math> be a continuous function from <math>[a,b]</math> to <math>\mathbf{R}</math>. Among all the polynomials of degree <math>\le n</math>, the polynomial <math>g</math> minimizes the uniform norm of the difference <math> || f - g || _\infty </math> if and only if there are <math>n+2</math> points <math>a \le x_0 < x_1 < \cdots < x_{n+1} \le b</math> such that <math>f(x_i) - g(x_i) = \sigma (-1)^i || f - g || _\infty</math> where <math>\sigma = \pm 1</math>.
 
== Algorithms ==
Several [[minimax approximation algorithm]]s are available, the most common being the [[Remez algorithm]].
