Spectacularly large coefficients in Müntz's theorem

Müntz’s theorem asserts, for example, that the linear span of the even powers 1,x2,x4,… is dense in C([0,1]). We show that the associated expansions are so inefficient as to have no conceivable relevance to any actual computation. For example, approximating f(x)=x to accuracy ε=10−6 in this basis...
