Comments on "A procedure defining behavior of weight functions near the edge for best convergence using the Galerkin method" by P.S. Fridberg and I.M. Yakover

The commenters remark on the importance and timeliness of the procedure presented in the above-titled paper by P.S. Fridberg and I.M. Yakover (see ibid., vol.40, no.8, p.1661-1667, 1992). They also point out a global optimization procedure of the coordinate functions used in connection with the Galerkin, Rayleigh-Ritz or the Kantorovich method, based on Lord Rayleigh's optimization procedure.<
