In [[mathematics]], the '''Artin approximation theorem''' is a fundamental result of {{harvs|last=Artin|first=Michael|txt|authorlink=Michael Artin|year=1969}} in [[deformation theory]] which implies that [[formal power series]] with coefficients in a [[field (mathematics)|field]] ''k'' are well-approximated by the [[algebraic function]]s on ''k''.

More precisely, Artin proved two such theorems: one, in 1968, on approximation of complex analytic solutions by formal solutions (in the case <math>k = C\Complex</math>); and an algebraic version of this theorem in 1969.

==Statement of the theorem==

Let <math>\mathbf{x} = x_1, \dots, x_n</math> denote a collection of ''n'' [[indeterminate (variable)|indeterminate]]s, <math>k[[\mathbf{x}]]</math> the [[ring (mathematics)|ring]] of formal [[power series]] with indeterminates <math>\mathbf{x}</math> over a field ''k'', and <math>\mathbf{y} = y_1, \dots, y_n</math> a different set of indeterminates. Let

:<math>f(\mathbf{x}, \mathbf{y}) = 0</math>

The following alternative statement is given in Theorem 1.12 of {{harvs|last=Artin|first=Michael|txt|authorlink=Michael Artin|year=1969}}.

Let ''<math>R''</math> be a field or an excellent discrete valuation ring, let ''<math>A''</math> be the [[Henselian ring|henselization]] at a prime ideal of an ''<math>R''</math>-algebra of finite type at a prime ideal, let ''m'' be a proper ideal of ''<math>A''</math>, let <math> \hat{A}</math> be the ''m''-adic completion of ''<math>A''</math>, and let

:''<math>F'':\colon (''A''\text{-algebras}) →\to (\text{sets}), </math>

be a functor sending filtered colimits to filtered colimits (Artin calls such a functor locally of finite presentation). Then for any integer ''c'' and any <math> \overline{\xi} \in F(\hat{A})</math>, there is a <math> \xi \in F(A)</math> such that

Then for any integer ''c'' and any <math> \overline{\xi} \in F(\hat{A})</math> there is a <math> \xi \in F(A)</math> such that

:<math>\overline{\xi}</math> ≡ <math>\xi</math> mod ''m''^''c''.

:<math>\overline{\xi}</math> ≡\equiv <math>\xi</math> mod\bmod ''m''<sup>''^c''</supmath>.
