Abstract

On a standard simplex in n-dimensional Euclidean space, we introduce a function H(x) whose value at a point x = (x1, …, xn) is equal to the harmonic mean of the numbers x1, …, xn. The problem of the best uniform approximation of the function H(x) on the simplex by linear functions is considered. A unique solution to the problem is given. It has complete alternance. The existence of complete alternance guarantees the strong uniqueness of the solution. An exact constant of strong uniqueness is found.
