​My connections to Paul Erdős

Approximation theory-Orthogonal polynomials via the Hungarian Academy of Sciences

• Paul Nevai, one of my external PhD advisors and from the Hungary Academia of Sciences, was a student of:
• Geza Freud, Béla Szökefalvi-Nagy and Paul Turan of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
• My PhD thesis was on weighted polynomial approximation for Erdős weights.
• Paul Erdős has studied Erdős weights in connection with contracted zero distribution of orthogonal polynomials of Chebyshev type.
• My PhD advisor Doron Lubinsky has papers in approximation theory and orthogonal polynomials for example with Paul Nevai and other mathematicans from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
• My Erdős Number is 3 through 11 people, in particular:  David Benko, Doron Lubinsky, Michael Sears, Willard Miller, Michael Werman.
