In mathematics, a lethargy theorem is a statement about the distance of points in a metric space from members of a sequence of subspaces; one application in numerical analysis is to approximation theory, the difficulty of approximating general functions by functions of special form, such as polynomials.
Bernstein's lethargy theorem
Let be a strictly ascending sequence sequence of finite-dimensional linear subspaces of a Banach space X, and let be a decreasing sequence of real numbers tending to zero. Then there exists a point x in X such that the distance of x to Vi is exactly .
