How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T12011611 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

A.
Calderón interpolation theorem
The Calderón interpolation theorem is a fundamental result in functional analysis that provides a powerful method for constructing intermediate spaces and extending bounded linear operators between them.
-
B.
Stone–Weierstrass theorem
The Stone–Weierstrass theorem is a fundamental result in functional analysis that characterizes when a subalgebra of continuous functions on a compact space is dense, thereby generalizing classical polynomial approximation results.
-
C.
Weierstrass approximation theorem
The Weierstrass approximation theorem is a fundamental result in real analysis stating that any continuous function on a closed interval can be uniformly approximated by polynomials.
-
D.
Paley–Wiener theorem
The Paley–Wiener theorem is a fundamental result in harmonic analysis that characterizes which functions arise as Fourier transforms of compactly supported functions (or distributions), linking analytic properties of entire functions with support properties in the original domain.

Singular Integrals and Differentiability Properties of Functions
"Singular Integrals and Differentiability Properties of Functions" is a landmark mathematical monograph by Elias M. Stein that developed the modern theory of singular integral operators and their role in harmonic analysis and differentiability.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
