Abstract
A method for constructing a Chebyshev approximation of the multivariable functions by exponential, logarithmic and power expressions is proposed. It consists in reducing the problem of the Chebyshev approximation by a nonlinear expression to the construction of an intermediate Chebyshev approximation by a generalized polynomial. The intermediate Chebyshev approximation by a generalized polynomial is calculated for the values of a certain functional transformation of the function we are approximating. The construction of the Chebyshev approximation of the multivariable functions by a polynomial is realized by an iterative scheme based on the method of least squares with a variable weight function.
