Let [α, β] be a closed interval and C[α, β] be the space of continuous functions on [α, β], For g a function on [α, β] define

Let s be a non-negative function on [α, β]. Let F be an approximating function with parameter space P such that F(A, .)∊ C[α, β] for all A∊P. The Chebyshev problem with weight s is given f ∊ C[α, β], to find a parameter A* ∊ P to minimize e(A) = ||s * (f - F(A, .))|| over A∊P. Such a parameter A* is called best and F(A*,.) is called a best approximation to f.
