CAA: Padova-Verona research group on
"Constructive Approximation and Applications"

We work in the field of Constructive Approximation and Applications in a broad sense, with
a special interest in the study and implementation of effective approximation algorithms,
and in the production of reliable numerical software. Our main interests are presently in
