In this poster, I will present a recent work [1] on the polynomial approximation of symmetric multivariate functions and of multiset functions. More precisely, I will consider functions that are invariant with respect to the permutations of its N variables, each one being d-dimensional, and I will show how these symmetries can be exploited to improve the cost versus error ratio when the function is approximated by polynomials. I will then mention how these results can be used for deriving approximation rates for functions defined on multisets, that it where N becomes a parameter of the input.
