2094	 On an Algorithm for Nonlinear Minimax Approximation	 Certain nonlinear minimax approximation problems are characterize d by properties which permit the application of special algorithms mainly based on the exchange algorithms of Remes for their solution. In this paper the application to problems of this type of a general nonlinear algorithm due to Osborne and Watson is considered. Examples are given to illustrate that this algorithm can give satisfactory results and in particular can successfully solve problems which lead to difficulties with the more conventional specialist method. minimax approximation nonlinear approximation linear programming
